Nasser Mansi scored two goals to lead Zamalek to a 2-1 victory over host Abu Salim El Libya in the fifth round of the Confederation Cup on Sunday.
This is Zamalek’s first victory under the leadership of its Portuguese coach, Jose Gomez, after a goalless draw in its first match against Al-Ismaily in the local league.
Zamalek, which previously qualified for the quarter-finals, raised its score to 13 points at the top of Group Two, while Abu Salim remained in second place with 9 points.
Mansi opened the scoring for Zamalek after 8 minutes when he received a cross pass from Omar Gaber and shot directly into the net.
Three minutes after the start of the second half, Mansi added the second goal after a corner kick executed inside the penalty area. The goalkeeper and Abu Salim’s defense made a mistake in clearing it to reach the Zamalek striker, who shot from close range into the net.
Ihab Al-Muqles scored the only goal for the Libyan team with a powerful shot from inside the penalty area in the 75th minute.
