At the end of a breathtaking scenario, the Egyptians of the Pyramids won (3-2) against the Orlando Pirates, this Friday evening at the June 30 stadium in Cairo, thus winning their very first post for the final of the Totalnergies CAF Champions League.

After a frustrating 0-0 during the first leg in Johannesburg, the two teams gave themselves without restraint from the start. However, it was the South Africans who struck the first, Mofuchile Mofuching emerging in mid-periode to open the brand at a bland range.

A short -lived advantage. Just before the break, Fiston Mayele, an opportunist, took over a specific center from Mostafa Fathi to put the two training courses on equal.

The game resumed on the same frantic tempo. In the 52nd minute, Mohau Nkota gave the harassment to the pirates of a dry and grazing strike. But, pushed by their audience, the pyramids immediately found the resources to respond: Ramadan Sobhi, at the reception of a center of Mohamed Chibi, placed an unstoppable head to pick up the score (2-2).

The turn of the match occurred six minutes from the end. Following a scramble in the South African surface following a corner, Mayele, once again, arose to ship the ball below the bar and release a whole stadium.

Despite an intense pressure of pirates in the final moments – notably by Mabasa and Mofucheng -, the Pyramids resisted to keep their advance and extend their impressive invincibility at 23 games.

They will find in the final the Mamelodi Sundowns, tom residents of Al Ahly, for a shock that promises sparks.
