The game was Al-Sayed's first since the 2-0 defeat to Ahli in the Egyptian Super Cup, and despite conceding twice the former Egypt goalie was happy with his showing.

"I'm really pleased with my performance against Ahli. I consider this game to be my comeback for this season," Al-Sayed told FilGoal.com on Monday.

The draw leaves The Whites needing a win against Zimbabwe's Dynamos in Harare without Ahli losing to ASEC Mimosas to secure the club's chances of making the competition's semi-final.

"I have full confidence that we can beat Dynamos and qualify to the semi-finals."

Meanwhile, Zamalek resumed preparations for the decisive Dynamos encounter on Sunday, with the team scheduled to fly to Harare on Thursday.
