Zamalek didn’t face many difficulties in today’s match and it went smoothly with a good harmony where almost 9 out of the team’s 12 players scored goals, according to Abo Sree. The beginning was a bit weak but it was expected that this was just the beginning and the Egyptian team did its best later where it managed to retrieve its performance.
