African Super Cup: Hearts of Oak beat Zamalek

Ghana's champion club, Accra Hearts of Oak, have won the African Super Cup - the Felix Houphouet-Boigny trophy - by scoring a goal in each half to beat Zamalek of Egypt, 2-0.
The game in Ghana's second-largest city Kumasi, pitted the continent's two best clubs against each other to determine which one really deserves to be called the very best on the continent.
Charles Taylor opened the scoring for Hearts of Oak
It was the Ghanaian side's fourth trophy in recent months after winning Ghana's league and FA Cup, and the African Champions League in December.
Hearts will now travel to Spain in July as the undisputed African football heavyweights for the World Club Championship, along with Zamalek, who are the holders of the African Cup Winners Cup.
The goals
The opening goal came in the 12th minute through Charles Taylor who pounced on a mistake by the Egyptian goalkeeper, Abdelwahed El Sayed.
Many Hearts of Oak fans made the 300km trip to Kumasi
The Egyptian fumbled as he was challenged for an airborne cross by Hearts striker, Ishmael Addo.
Within a minute of the second half, Ghana's Footballer of the Year, Emmanuel Osei Kuffour, scored Hearts' second goal, with a rather harmless-looking shot after picking up a cross by midfielder, Edmund Copson.
The hosts could have scored more goals but Hearts' deadly trio of Kuffour, Addo and Taylor squandered many chances; to the annoyance of many of their fans.
In the 80th minute Addo curled a volley at the Zamalek goal which went just inches wide as El Sayed crashed himself into the post trying in his efforts to avoid conceding a third goal.
Egyptian efforts
Hossam Hassan failed to sparkle for the Egyptians
Zamalek showed several flashes of themselves, but their efforts amounted to very little and even their top player Hossam Hassan had to be substituted in the second half.
In one memorable Egyptian miss, veteran star Khaled El Ghandour shot wide before the interval with a lot of space to draw the tie level.
Walid Abdelatif nearly pulled a goal back for Zamalek in the 59th minute, but Hearts' Daniel Quaye intervened to clear the ball from the goal line.
The top scorer in the Egyptian league, Tarek El Sayed, was the most influential in the Zamalek team but Hearts of Oak won all the duels in midfield.
Hearts banned
Hearts played host to Zamalek in Ghana's second-largest city Kumasi - which is not their home ground - because the club was banned for a year from playing any continental club games at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Kumasi is nearly 300 kilometres from the Ghanaian capital, Accra.
The decision was reached by Caf over the weekend following the unruly behaviour of Hearts fans at the Champions League final in Accra last December 17, against Esperance of Tunisia.
The African Super champions open their title defence on April 1 against Etoile of Congo Brazzaville.
