Sour grapes from Zamalek supporters‚ but Al Ahly fans celebrate with Sundowns

Borg El Arab Stadium had emptied – apart from their 150 travelling fans‚ and a handful of stragglers – by the time Mamelodi Sundowns lifted the Caf Champions League trophy on Sunday night. Most of the 70 000 crowd that had packed the stadium streamed out at the final whistle after having made a stomach-churning level of hostile noise that made for an uncomfortable 90 minutes for Sundowns‚ who held their nerve for a 1-0 defeat against Zamalek in the second leg and 3-1 aggregate victory.
