Egyptian players Hossam andIbrahim Hassan achieved the distinction of winning an African Champions League medal for the second time on Friday - 15 years after they won their first.

The 36-year-old twins featured prominently in Zamalek's 1-0 win over Raja Casablanca of Morocco in the second leg of the final in Cairo, although both were also heavily involved in the fighting that marred the match.

That title was added to the 1987 victory when the pair were at Zamalek's arch-rivals Al Ahly, who beat Sudan's Al Hilal 2-0 on aggregate.

"It is a great honour for me and nice to add another achievement," Hossam said after Zamalek's win.

"I am happy to have done this and hoping to continue playing for a while yet."

The pair were given a new lease of life at Zamalek after a controversial move from arch rivals Al Ahly two years ago.

Few players have crossed the passionate divide between Cairo's two major clubs but the brothers seem to have thrived on the controversy caused by their switch.

In addition to their first Champions League title, the twin's career at Ahly also saw them collect 11 league titles and play at the 1990 World Cup finals in Italy.

Since moving to Zamalek, they have also won a league championship and now the biggest prize in African club soccer again.

Hossam Hassan won wider recognition as the world's most capped player, winning a 151st cap two years ago before the record was overtaken by Mexico's Claudio Suarez.

Ibrahim also notched up a ton of caps for Egypt although he spent a year out with suspension after attempting to attack the referee in the 1994 African Super Cup, against Zamalek.

He was also to the fore in the fracas that spoilt Friday's final, collecting a yellow card in the first half and then trading punches with Raja Casablanca players in a massed brawl after the 1-0 aggregate win.
