Despite a 2-1 loss in the first leg in Morocco, the White Knights won the title on the away goals rule, with the aggregate score tied at 2-2. This marks Zamalek’s second Confederation Cup win, having also defeated Berkane in 2019.

The match started intensely, with Zamalek creating several early chances, though Nabil Emad and Ibrahima Ndiaye were unable to convert them.

Hamdi’s goal gave Zamalek a crucial lead, and despite Berkane’s efforts, Zamalek’s strong defense held firm. Hamdi was substituted in the first half due to a knee injury, and his replacement, Youssef Obama, missed a significant chance to extend the lead before halftime.
