(Eric Obura)

Cairo : Gor Mahia 1 Zamalek 2

(Dan Shikanda)

Abbas Magongo who had been the centre of the fiasco 10 years earlier when a Gor Mahia vs Zamalek match was abandoned, returned to Gor Mahia after a 3 year stint in the Middle East and played in this match.

In the opening leg at Nyayo, It was Gor Mahia who thoroughly dominated possession. However Zamalek scored against the run of play when Ayman Mansour picked up a long pass, calmly chested the ball and planted the ball past Charles Omondi Korea in the Gor Mahia goal. It looked like a well rehearsed move. Gor Mahia fought back late and equalized via striker Eric Obura who compeleted a good move by Zedekiah Otieno.

In the return leg, Gor Mahia fought against biased officiating. Zamalek scored from penalties. Charles Omondi Korea twice saved a penalty but each time the referee declared that he had moved before the kick was taken
