(Apr 20, 2013, (Cairo))--Egypt’s Zamalek football team is at risk of early elimination in the African Champions League after it fell in a 1-1 draw at home against Ethiopia’s Saint George on Saturday.

The Egyptian team playing at Cairo’s Air Defense Stadium struggled in front of the Ethiopian players in the first half of the match, Ahram Online reported. The Ethiopian team created many goal scoring chances which could have resulted in them winning the clash.
