The Soweto giants had lost their first match in the group stage against Al Masry, but are still on course to qualify for the next round.
Kaizer Chiefs continue to progress in life after Nasreddine Nabi's departure, with the two new co-coaches doing a great job.
Kaizer Chiefs share a point with Zamalek
Kaizer Chiefs were on the back foot early, conceding in the third minute when Seifeddine Jaziri pounced on Brandon Petersen’s error from a corner and slotted the ball into the bottom-right corner for the opener.
Former Mamelodi Sundowns star Gaston Sirino came close to scoring when his bold 40-yard strike rattled the upright with the Zamalek goalkeeper stranded. Moments later, the Uruguayan was forced off through injury, joining Bradley Cross on the treatment table.
At the start of the second half, the White Knights nearly extended their lead, but the Glamour Boys were saved by Inacio Miguel, who made a crucial goal-line clearance.
Petersen came to Kaizer Chiefs' aid with a crucial, perfectly timed save after his defence was exposed on the counter. Just when it seemed the home team was heading for a loss, Dillan Solomons struck in stoppage time to secure a point for his side.

Amakhosi supporters shared their thoughts on their team's 1-1 draw against Zamalek in South Africa.
Vusumuzi_Ngwenya said:
Why wasn't the ball immediately taken from the net for a restart? Loser mentality to celebrate scoring an equaliser for that long when we should be going for a win, especially with the match practically over.
T_S_T_dee commented:
"Maboe had a very good game. We have to start pairing Maboe and Cele in the middle. Since we substituted Mthethwa, we started playing balls behind Zamalek's defence and started looking dangerous. We need Ngcobo in Shabalala’s position. He is way more creative and threatening at goals with good physical strength. Vilakazi is more of a game-changer than a full starter, especially when playing against physical teams. Ighodaro is a good Striker, but he needs a constant supply, hence he keeps tracking back and most times not in the box."

"Well Done To The Boys. They Never Gave Up, They Kept Pushing Right Up Until The End Of The Game. And It Paid Off."
Senzo Ndlazi shared:
"The redemption we need is to win the upcoming league games and close on a high note."
Bennetfor added:
"Maboe must be a permanent member of that midfield. Mshini must never be out of sight of the technical team; he has football brains. We are missing Lilepo big time upfront. Well done to Peterson, too, for keeping us in the game."
