Arab newspapers praised Zamalek's midfielders Achraf Bencharki after he struck a second-half brace to guide the White Knights to a 3-1 victory over Espérance Sportive de Tunis in CAF Super Cup.

The Whites managed to lift their fourth Super Cup title after thrashing the Tunisian side 3-1 in Qatar after a glorious match.

Here is how Arab Newspapers comment on Zamalek's Win:

The Moroccan newspaper "El botola" praised Achraf Bencharki's illustrious performance during the game.

Under the title "Bencharki's brace hits ES Tunis' net and grants Zamalek the CAF Super Cup Title," the Moroccan newspaper said that Bencharki's great efforts during the game helped the White Knights to end their 17-year wait for a Super Cup title.

It also added that the Whites dominated the first half of the game as they netted a goal and wasted another two serious opportunities, which came so close to double the scoring.

The Moroccan newspaper "Maghress" shed the light on ES Tunis' second consecutive loss in the CAF Super Cup.

It said that the Tunisian side failed to increase their Super Cup titles to two trophies as they lost the last two tournaments against Morocco's Raja and Egypt's Zamalek.

"Al Bayan" newspaper said that the White Knights managed to claim the title for the fourth time in their history after defeating ES Tunis.

Under the title "Bencharki leads Zamalek to claim the CAF Super Cup title," "Riyadh" newspaper said that ES Tunis failed to end their 25-year wait for a Super Cup title after suffering a 1-3 defeat by Zamalek.
