By: Gyang Dakwo

Egypt’s Zamalek SC clinched their second CAF Confederation Cup title by triumphing over Moroccan opponent RS Berkane with a close 1-0 win in the final’s second leg at Cairo International Stadium on Sunday.

In the 23rd minute, midfielder Ahmed Hamdi secured the crucial goal with a perfectly placed shot, leading the team to victory.

Despite losing the first leg 2-1 in Morocco, the White Knights were able to claim the title through the away goals rule with a final aggregate score of 2-2.

This win marks Zamalek’s second Confederation Cup victory, the first one also against Berkane in 2019.

The match was off to an intense start with Zamalek creating multiple chances early on, but Nabil Emad and Ibrahima Ndiaye failed to convert them.

However, the team maintained control, and Hamdi’s goal gave them a solid lead. Berkane struggled to respond, and Zamalek’s strong defence kept them at bay to run away with victory.
