Zamalek coach Michel Decastel fielded a number of new faces, who didn't take part against Sochaux or Shakhtar including Sabri Rahil and Ayman Abdul-Aziz. Brazilian newly-signed striker Anderson was also given his first match in a Zamalek shirt. The Swiss tactician opted to rest Amr Zaki, Shikabala, Hazem Emam as well as Ahmed Al-Merghani. Following the game, Decastel said that he was pleased with his players' performance.
