A source close to Radwan Jaid denied what was reported about the CAF’s manipulation of the result of the Moroccan arbitration streak, before the Al-Ahly and Zamalek match, which was played on Friday at the Cairo International Stadium, in the final of the African Champions League.
And the African Football Confederation decided, on Friday afternoon, to exclude Radwan Jaid after confirming his infection with the Corona virus, and instead appoint a Zambian Sikazwi and Ibrahim Noureddine as fourth official.
A source close to the Moroccan government told “Echo of the Country”: “I contacted Radwan Jayed and he confirmed that he was infected with the Coronavirus.”
Al-Ahly crowned the African Champions League title after beating Zamalek by two goals to one on Friday in the final match that brought the two teams together at the Cairo International Stadium, where Amr Al-Sulaia and Mohamed Magdy Qafsha scored the goals for Al-Ahly, while Mahmoud Abdel-Razek Shikabala scored the only goal for Zamalek.
Yesterday’s match is the first in history between Al-Ahly and Zamalek in the final of the African Champions League.
Yesterday’s match between Al-Ahly and Zamalek was led by the Algerian referee, Mustafa Ghorbal, and the Zambian Sikazwe assisted him as a referee for the VAR technique, and a fourth official, Ibrahim Noureddine.
The Al-Ahly team reinforced their record in the number of times they won the CAF Champions League, raising their tally to nine titles, while Zamalek’s balance in the tournament froze at five titles, as they eluded it again , noting that he won his last five tournament titles in 2002.
Moamen Zakaria, the Al-Ahly player, appeared at the team’s crowning ceremony in the African Champions League, after Al-Ahly defeated Zamalek in the final of the tournament, with the result of two goals per goal, in the game that was played on Friday night at the Cairo Stadium.
Goalkeeper Mohamed El-Shennawy accompanied his Al-Ahly teammate, Moamen Zakaria, to be in front of the coronation podium, where he raised the championship cup from the rest of the players, in a wonderful gesture from the Football Confederation Africano (CAF), who invited him to attend the final.
With that result, Al-Ahly qualified for the Club World Cup after an absence that lasted years, and will face the African Super Cup on December 10 against the Moroccan rebirth of Berkane who won the Confederation title.
Hussein Al-Shahat will be absent from Al-Ahly against Nahdet Berkane of Morocco, in the Super African match, for having obtained a red card, after the end of yesterday’s match.
Al-Shahat did not show his usual level during yesterday’s match, as he missed two goals scored during the match.
