Zamalek 1-1 Al Ahly | CAF Champions League Video Review
Cairo rivals Ahly and Zamalek shared honors in a dour African Champions League clash that witnessed the presence of a few thousand fans despite a crowd ban enforced by the Egyptian authorities.
Striker Ahmed Gaafar, who has recently penned a new deal with Zamalek, gave them an early lead but Mohamed Abou-Treika, making his first Ahly appearance in more than six months after ending a loan spell at Emirati side Bani Yas, converted a second-half penalty to restore parity.
Zamalek marked the debut of coach Helmi Toulan by extending their winless Cairo derby streak to 15 games, having last defeated their bitter rivals in an Egyptian Premier League game in 2007. They have not defeated Ahly in seven Champions League meetings.
All four teams in Group A of Africa’s elite club competition have one point each after Orlando Pirates of South Africa and Congo’s AC Leopards settled for a goalless draw earlier this week.
