Brazilian Junior dos Santos scored the first goal after only eight minutes.

Ahly's great Egyptian rivals Zamalek needed a late Amr Zaki penalty to go through on away goals against Africa Sport in Ivory Coast.

The hosts looked on course for a shock result when Soumaila Belem scored in the 57th minute and again five minutes later.

Zaki scored the all-important away goal with only nine minutes left to play.
