The Whites thought they had beaten the lower division side 11-0 on Sunday, but it was later discovered that a bunch of friends were playing the Cairo giants.

"Our team did not play against Zamalek," Helwan football director Ramadan Zaki told FilGoal.com.

"I was astonished to know the news from the media, so I contacted Hossam Hassan to tell him about it.

"I think the whole thing was organized by one of our old players who took his amateur friends and deceived Zamalek."

Moreover, the fake team used Zamalek reserve keeper Emad Al-Sayed in goal as they had no one to stand between the posts at some point in the game.

It is also worth noting that Helwan is the home city of the Hassan twins.
