The Egyptian giants suffered a 1-0 first-leg defeat to the South African giants last weekend, and could not turn the tie around as they drew 0-0 with their opponents in the reverse fixture in Cairo on Wednesday night.
Speaking after the game, Swiss tactician Marcel Koller provided his assessment of the tie, claiming his players were unfortunate to not get something more from the second leg at home, but said his team does need to improve.
"We played a great game today," he said, according to KingFut.
"I think we showed a different type of performance but I felt we were unlucky.
"The players and fans are rightfully disappointed with the result and that's understandable. We have to improve.
"I don't think there is a team that wins every single game or trophy. That is just part of football."
Downs have now progressed to the final of the competition at the first time of asking, and will go up against Wydad Casablanca over two legs on 5 and 11 November.
