Zamalek beats Raja 1-0 in cap champions league final

Zamalek midfielder Tamer Abdel Hamid late in the first half gave Zamalek the African Champions League title after beating Raja Casablanca 1-0 in a tense second-leg match of the prestigious championship.

Zamalek and Raja had a match in the first-leg game in Casablance two weeks ago. In the dying seconds of the first half, Abdel Hamid fired a scorcher from outside the penalty area into the Moroccan net.

In the second half, Raja players quit their defence and both teams traded possession.

By the 55th minute it was Raja's domination but Zamalek restored control over the game soon and tried to make use of the Moroccans quest for an equaliser.

Abdel Hamid El-Shelmani, the Libyan referee booked five Raja players and three Zamalek footballers.
