Report … Why should Zamalek be careful before signing Raja?

After postponing the match twice, the Moroccan team, Raja Casablanca, enters Wednesday afternoon and has no choice but to achieve the winning result when they face Zamalek at the “Cairo Stadium” in the semi-final leg of the African Champions League competition.

Zamalek cut halfway to the final match after achieving a beautiful victory over the Moroccan League champion with an unanswered goal, which came through Moroccan star Ashraf Bencharki, for which the Whites demanded a result of at minus a negative draw to face his rival Al-Ahly in the final stage.
