Pyramids have progressed to the CAF Champions League group stages after beating Ethiopian Insurance 3-1 on aggregate across the two-legged tie.

The two teams played to a one-all draw last weekend, before the Egyptian side secured a 2-0 victory in the return leg in Cairo on Thursday.

As the defending champions, Pyramids are expected to be in Pot 1 when the group stage draw is conducted on Monday, 03 November in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The mega rich Egyptians beat South African heavyweights Mamelodi Sundowns in the final last season en route to their maiden continental title, with deadly forward Fiston Mayele starring.

Now, Krunoslav Jurcic's men will shift their focus to the Egyptian Premier League, where they are scheduled to host Alexandria Ittihad on Sunday.
