The Algerian side had secured a 1-0 win from a controversial stoppage-time penalty in the first leg. Zamalek struck early when Oday Dabbagh converted a fifth-minute penalty, but the hosts, relying largely on counter-attacks, were unable to extend their advantage. USM Alger came close to equalising after the break, with Ahmed Khaldi — scorer of the winner in the first leg — sending an effort narrowly wide.

Zamalek’s Mohamed Shehata then missed the eighth attempt before Glody Likonza sealed victory for the visitors, sparking celebrations among USM Alger supporters at Cairo International Stadium.
