Ahmed Mostafa Zizo rediscovered his scoring touch, propelling Zamalek into the Egypt Cup final with a crucial 90th-minute goal in a 2-1 victory over Ceramica Cleopatra on Friday.
The Zamalek winger ended a dry spell that stretched over two months, his last strike coming on January 16 against Haras El-Hodoud in a 3-2 Egyptian Premier League win, where he bagged a brace.
This latest effort lifted his tally to 87 goals in 258 appearances for the Whites across all competitions.
Zizo now sits sixth on Zamalek’s all-time scoring list, trailing legends like Abdel Halim Ali (134 goals), Hassan Shehata (102), Gamal Abdel Hamid (97), Ali Khalil (94), and Alaa El Hamouli (91).
Zamalek fans never wavered in their support during his drought, and their faith paid off as he delivered when it mattered most.
The team now gears up to face Pyramids in the final, fresh off their commanding 4-0 rout of Al-Bank Al-Ahly. Zizo’s late heroics have set the stage for a thrilling showdown.
