The replay will be on Thursday October 24 at 8pm local time in Cairo. Zamalek have up till this Saturday to confirm the venue of the replay.

The match was initially awarded to the Egyptian side following a ‘no show’ by the visiting Senegalese side, which returned home following a last minute change of match date and venue.

The Senegalese club last month won the first leg, 2-1.
