Zamalek Striker Bencharki Dedicates Goal To Fans

Moroccan striker Achraf Bencharki has dedicated his wonder goal for Zamalek against Raja Casablanca to the Egyptian Premier League club fans.

Bencharki, who joined the White Knights in July 2019, struck a wonderful header in the 18th minute to give his side a slender advantage ahead of the return-leg match.

In his leading celebration, Bencharki proceeded to the corner flag where he was joined by his teammates for the celebration before hugging Zizo who provided a wonderful assist that resulted in the lone goal of the match.

“The goal was a product of instructions from the coach and an understanding between me and teammates,” Bencharki told Bein Sports as per KingFut.

“I spoke with Zizo before the match and during training about the goal, and I managed to score.

“We played a good match, but we still have another game to play in Egypt. It’s a good result but it’s certainly not over yet,” he added.

Zamalek dominated the match with their attacking muscle led by Ahmed Zizo, Mostafa Mohamed and Bencharki missing a host of chances to extend their lead.

Raja began to put pressure in the second stanza forcing several saves from the White Knights custodian Mohamed Abou-Gabal.

The return leg will be held at the Borg El Arab Stadium in Alexandria next Saturday, 24 October.

The aggregate winners will advance to meet either Al Ahly or Wydad Casablanca in the final on 6 November.
