The White Knights doubled their lead in the 30th minute when Shikabala curled one of his trade-mark ball after a pass from Zizo.

Tunisian striker Seifeddine Jaziri finally ended his goal drought as netted the third in the 51st minute after meeting a corner kick from Zizo with a well-placed header.

Zamalek took advantage of the numerical superiority and added another goal in the final 15 minutes. Substitute Ibrahima Ndiaye, with an assist from Sayed Abdallah, found the back of the net with a superb run.

Zamalek top Group B with six points, ahead of Libyan side Abu Salim and Angola’s Sagrada Esperança, who lost 1-0 in the other group match on Sunday.
