Zamalek crowned champions (14.12.2002)
Zamalek of Egypt won the African Champions League crown for a record fifth time on Friday after beating Raja Casablanca 1-0 in Cairo.
The goal was enough to take the tie after the first leg of the final in Morocco two weeks ago ended goalless.
The Egyptians started as favourites but they needed a lucky deflection to secure the win.
Tamer Abdel Hamid`s strike deep into stoppage time in the first half was only parried by Raja`s keeper Mustapha Chadili.
The drive from the edge of the box ballooned up off the keeper`s hands and into the top left corner of the goal.
There could have been many more goals but Chadili and his Zamalek counterpart were outstanding.
Hassan`s record
The game was marred by regular stoppages as players got involved in countless off-the-ball incidents and went down writhing in agony
atthe gentlest of challenges.
The referee handed out seven yellow cards and could have booked many more players, but did his best to keep the game flowing.
In the last few minutes the match descended into near-farce as Raja`s assistant coach was red-carded for charging onto the pitch and the referee had to contend with players wrestling with each other.
The gamesmanship will have done little to promote the image of African football around the world.
But that will not be worrying Zamalek as they celebrate a record fifth title win, collect the one million dollars top prize and guarantee themselves a place in next year`s tournament.
The win also marks an historic achievement for Zamaleks` veteran twins Hossam and Ibrahim Hassan, who take the champions medal 15 years after first winning one with Al Ahly.
