CAF Cup: Hope – MC Algiers rigged or not?
The Zamalek has trouble digesting his elimination from the 1st round. The big Cairo club believes that the match between Esperance de Tunis and Mouloudia d’Alger was rigged. For Zamalek, the Esperantists have chosen to ease off to promote the qualification of the Algerians. The management of the Cairo club even seized the African Football Confederation.
However, this approach could cost the vice-champions of Africa dearly. CAF could well sanction Zamalek severely if club officials fail to provide evidence for their serious allegations.
Zamalek inflicted a correction (4-1) on Teungueth FC. L’Esperance had to beat MC Alger so that Zamalek could play in the quarter-finals. EST and Mouloudia shared the points (1-1) to the chagrin of the leaders of Zamalek.
