Meanwhile, over yet to be established reasons Mutyaba didn't make the squads for both quarterfinal bouts.

Zamalek, home to Uganda Cranes midfield sensation Travis Mutyaba, progressed courtesy of a 3-2 aggregate after the 1-1 stalemate on Sunday with Future.

Joseph Ngwem gave the visitors the lead before Zamalek struck back through Ahmed Hamdi.

The stalemate at the Cairo International Stadium followed the latter's 2-1 advantage in the first leg away from home.

Meanwhile, over yet to be established reasons Mutyaba didn't make the squads for both quarterfinal bouts.

Since joining Zamalek earlier this year, Mutyaba has featured just once, in a 2-1 victory over Libya's Abu Salim in the Confederation Cup group stages.

Meanwhile, Zamalek will face Ghana's Dreams FC in the last four of the competition. The latter cruised past Stade Malien in a 3-2 aggregate win.

The other semifinal will see Algerian outfit USM Algiers take on Morocco's RS Berkane for a spot in the final.

While Berkane eliminated Abu Salim via a 3-2 aggregate, USM Algiers got the better of Rivers United (2-1).
