Zamalek sporting director calms fans after poor performance

CAIRO – 25 October 2019: Zamalek defeated Senegal’s Génération Foot 1-0 on Thursday night at the CAF Champions League round of 32 second leg at El Salam Stadium.

The team secured a qualification to the competition’s Group Stage. However, the team fans were furious as the team produced a poor performance and the Senegalese side had many clear chances to score.

“We did not have a great game and our performance was not that good but we achieved the most important thing and reached the group stage.” Zamalek sporting director, Amir Mortada, said.

Zamalek’s savior this season, Mostafa Mohamed, scored the only goal at the game to secure his team qualification as the first leg in Senegal ended with a 2-1 victory for the home team.

Amir added “I am sure that we will improve during the competition as we did last season at the CAF Confederation Cup and won the title at the end.”

The draw put Zamalek in Group A alongside Primeiro de Agosto of Angola, Congo’s Mazembe and ZESCO United from Zambia.
