Thousands of supporters, many of whom belong to hardcore fan group Ultras White Knights, took their seats in the northern stands of Cairo's Petrosport Stadium and feverishly cheered on Zamalek in win over Algerian team

Zamalek were finally boosted by heavy fan support at home for the first time in months as they claimed a 2-0 home victory over Algeria's MO Bejaia to move close to a place in the African Champions League group stage on Saturday.

Football spectators have been more or less banned in Egypt's stadiums since February 2012 when 72 Ahly fans were killed during a regular league game in the Port Said Stadium massacre.
