Zamalek SC secured their second CAF Confederation Cup title by defeating Moroccan side RS Berkane 1-0 in the final’s second leg at Cairo International Stadium on Sunday.

Midfielder Ahmed Hamdi scored the decisive goal in the 23rd minute with a perfectly placed shot, ensuring victory for Zamalek. Despite a 2-1 loss in the first leg in Morocco, the White Knights won the title on away goals with a final aggregate score of 2-2.

This triumph marks Zamalek’s second Confederation Cup victory, having previously won against Berkane in 2019. The match began intensely, with Zamalek creating several early chances, but Nabil Emad and Ibrahima Ndiaye were unable to convert.

Hamdi’s goal provided a crucial lead, but he had to be substituted in the first half due to a knee injury. His replacement, Youssef Obama, missed a significant opportunity to extend the lead before halftime. In the second half, Zamalek continued to dominate, with Seifeddine Jaziri nearly scoring with a header.

RS Berkane struggled to break through Zamalek’s solid defense, and despite controlling the midfield, they couldn’t create significant threats. In the final moments, Berkane defender Hamza El Moussaoui received a red card for a harsh tackle on Ahmed Sayed Zizo, sealing Zamalek’s victory.
