Zamalek 1-2 Ahly, 25 September 2005 (semi-final first leg)
A formidable Ahly side were firm favourites to overcome Zamalek and they looked to be cruising to a comfortable victory when striker Emad Meteb put them ahead eight minutes before the break with a fine curling shot from inside the area in the away leg.
Veteran midfielder Mohamed Barakat, who has recently announced his retirement from professional football, doubled the lead on the stroke of halftime to make matters worse for their ailing Cairo neighbors.
Playmaker Hazem Emam, a Zamalek icon, pulled one back on 74 minutes with a low shot from inside the area after a goal-mouth scramble but it was too little, too late as Ahly secured a comfortable first-leg advantage.

Everything had already been settled by the time they met in the penultimate Group A game – Ahly had ensured their progress and Zamalek lost any hopes of booking a semi-final berth.

Gamal Hamza fired into an empty net after a clever dummy to restore parity four minutes before the interval and Ghanaian striker Junior Agogo put them ahead on 51 minutes with an angled shot.
However, Zamalek were denied a win in the 70th minute when classy playmaker Mohamed Abou-Treika beat the keeper with a precise low shot with the outside of his right foot.
