Caf Super Cup: Bencharki brace fires Zamalek to triumph vs Esperance

The White Knights won their fourth trophy contested for between Caf Champions League and Confederation Cup champions

Achraf Bencharki struck a second-half brace to inspire Zamalek to a 3-1 win over Esperance and lift the 2020 Caf Super Cup final at Thani Bin Jassim Stadium, Doha, Qatar on Friday.

Moroccan forward Bencharki scored on 58 minutes and then deep into stoppage time to add on to Youssef Obama’s early goal and seal victory for Zamalek to win their first Super Cup title in 17 years and an overall fourth.

Esperance had tried to hit back through Algerian midfielder Abdelraouf Benguit, who made no mistake from the penalty spot nine minutes into the second half, to cancel out Obama’s goal.
