زمالک مقابل Misr Insurance

Zamalek needed a late goal to get past third-tier Misr Insurance 3-2 in the Egypt Cup round of 32, avoiding extra time and a possible shootout against a side that had led and then pulled level again. Misr Insurance went in front from a set piece late in the first half. Zamalek answered in first-half stoppage time, when Mohamed Shehata headed in from a deflected free kick. Early in the second half Ahmed Sherif took a penalty, awarded for a foul in the box, and it put the league champions 2-1 up. Misr Insurance did not fold. Goalkeeper El Mahdy Soliman spilled a free kick and the underdogs scored from the rebound to make it 2-2. The winner came when an Insurance defender headed a cross straight to Abdallah El Said, who finished it. Neither goal in the second-half exchange had a minute attached in the report I found. Zamalek go into the round of 16 with a narrow escape behind them. Misr Insurance are out of the Cup, having taken a lead against one of the favourites.
