Zamalek board member Ibrahim Youssef is grateful to Tanzanian fans after his side's 1-1 draw with Young Africans in Dar es Salaam. The Whites registered a vital away draw in the Champions League first round, amid hundreds of supporters from the Tanzanian capital cheering the Egyptian visitors. In addition to the local support coming from Young African's bitter rivals Simba Sports, Youssef revealed that Tanzanian people showed their sympathy over the recent unrest in Egypt. “Tanzanian fans were very sympathetic with us and we felt this since the moment we arrived at the airport,” the elder brother of Hassan Shehata's assistant Ismail said after the game. “Some fans in the stands were wearing Zamalek shirts.” Least About the pre-match tribute to the 77 Ahli supporters who lost their lives in the Port-Said disaster this month, Youssef said: “That's the least we can do. “The idea of the shirts was the management's and the board agreed to let the players do it.” Right before kickoff, Zamalek players put on shirts depicting the image of Ahli teenage fan Anas, who was the youngest to lose his life in the Port-Said tragedy.
