Tusker bow out of Caf Champions League after defeat to Zamalek

Local champions Tusker were on Friday night knocked out of the Caf Champions League after losing 5-0 on aggregate to Egyptian giants Zamalek SC in the second leg of the first-round match played at Borg El Arab Stadium in Alexandria.

Ibrahim Obama scored a brace as El-Gezeiry and Achraf Bencharki scored a goal apiece to propel the five times African champions to the group stages of the 2021-2022 Caf Champions League.

Tusker headed into the match behind last weekend’s 1-0 defeat to the Egyptian champions in Nairobi and needed a win to progress.

The defeat saw Tusker drop to the Caf Confederation Cup play-offs.

They will be grouped alongside one of the winners of the ongoing first round which will progress on Saturday.
