“Congratulations to Pyramids on their first round victory. We now look forward to their clash with Al Ahli Saudi for the Intercontinental cup crown”

The African champions sealed comfortable win at Cairo’s Air Defense Stadium on Sunday night. Goals from Pyramids equaled the record margin achieved by Al Ahly against the Oceania giants in previous meeting.
