RADES - Zamalek scored two away goals but paid the price of some slack defending to lose 4-2 to Club Africain in the CAF Champions League round of 32 first leg on Sunday. An early strike from Chadian striker Ezechiel Ndouassel was replied to by Shikabala to end the first half on level terms. After the break, the hosts scored a quickfire double through Youssef Mouihbi and Karim Aouadhi, but substitute Ahmed Gaafar pulled one back for Zamalek. It is the first time for Zamalek to concede four goals in one match since Hossam Hassan has taken charge in November 2009. The early goal disrupted Zamalek's match-plan and Hassan's side looked vulnerable to conceding another goal, if not for the heroics of goalkeeper Abdul-Wahed Al-Sayed. Hodoud claim massive first-leg victory Harras el-Hodoud recorded a comfortable 4-0 first-leg victory over Dedebit of Ethiopia in the African Confederation Cup round of 32 on Sunday. Egypt striker Ahmed Mekki opened the scoring with a seventh-minute header as the Alexandrians added three more after the break. A deflected shot from captain Mohamed Halim doubled the hosts' lead, before Abdul-Rahman Farouk and Ahmed Abdul-Ghani completed the rout with two more goals in the last ten minutes. The second leg will take place next month in Addis Ababa
