Pyramids Football Club made history on Friday, April 25, booking a place in the final of this season’s CAF Champions League.
The Egyptian side beat Orlando Pirates 3-2 on aggregate in the semi-final to secure a spot in the final for the first time in the team’s history.
Both Pyramids FC and Orlando Pirates went into Friday’s game with everything to play for after the first leg of their semi-final tie ended in a goalless stalemate.
The crunch meeting did not disappoint with either side giving it their all from the start of the first half.
It was the visiting team that took the lead through Relebohile Mofokeng in the 41st minute after he was set up by Tapelo Xoki.
Unfortunately, the team could not hold onto the lead before the halftime whistle. A strike from Fiston Mayele in the final minutes of the first half meant that both teams went into the break on level pegging.
Just as the first half panned out, the second half was more of the same and even better.
Mohau Nkota equalised in the 52nd minute to restore the lead for Orlando Pirates.
However, goals from Ramadan Sobhi and Fiston Mayele later in the game propelled Pyramids FC to come from behind to secure a 3-2 win at the end of the 90 minutes.
حــســمــت 👊
