Zamalek made it to the next round of the African Champions League, reports Abeer Anwar Zamalek made it to the 32nd round of the African Champions League after edging Tanzania's Young Africans 1-0. The first leg in Tanzania had ended in a draw 1-1. Former Europe star Mido, back in shape, joined the team just before the second leg on Sunday and was able to score the only goal of the encounter. The East Africans finished with 10-men after Athuman Idd was sent off on 63 minutes for a foul against Benin-import Razak Omotoyossi. Zamalek's Ahmed Hassan lost a great chance to add a second goal through a penalty on 79 minutes but missed. Zamalek played in Cairo's Military Stadium with no fans after being penalised by CAF when Zamalek supporters invaded the pitch in last year's match against Tunisia' Africains. Despite the absence of star Amr Zaki to injury, head coach Hassan Shehata insisted Zamalek do their best not only to reach the round of 32 in the tournament but to cheer up Egyptian fans still suffering from the Port Said massacre in which 74 football fans were killed in soccer violence in an Egyptian league game played early last month. "We want to make Egyptians happy and we want to show everybody that Egyptians will never be broken and that Egypt will always be able to surmount its sadness." Shehata added Zamalek sout to recapture the form which won for the team four African championships. The last was in 2004. Shehata said he was "very satisfied" with the team's performance. He said he was forced to substitute Shekabala for Mido "because Shikabala was suffering from a recent injury and he had to rest for some time." He added that Mido will easily regain shape after a United Arab Emirates training camp that will start on 10 March for 10 days during which the team will play three friendlies against Dubai's Ahly, Al-Ein and Al-Wasl. In round 32 Zamalek will meet Ivory Coast's Africa Sport on 25 March after they beat Missile of Gabon 2-0 at home.
