Zamalek vs Port

Zamalek made light work of AS Port in Cairo, blitzing the Djiboutian side 4-0 to complete a routine passage into the next round of African football's top club competition. The story of the night was 41-year-old Abdallah El Said, who tore the game apart inside the opening 20 minutes. El Said struck in the 7th, 8th and 19th minutes to hand Zamalek a commanding 3-0 half-time lead, wrapping up his first hat-trick for the club and his first anywhere since 2020. Nasser Mansi added gloss deep into stoppage time, heading home in the 93rd minute to make it 4-0 and complete the rout. The result sealed a 6-1 aggregate win following Zamalek's 2-1 first-leg victory, sending the Cairo giants through to the second preliminary round to face Rwanda's APR FC. For AS Port, it was a harsh end to a historic first-ever Champions League appearance, undone by El Said's brilliance on the night.
