Congolese striker Fiston Mayele writes his name into Pyramids history

Fiston Mayele has become the all-time leading scorer of Pyramids FC after netting his 50th goal in a 3-1 league victory over Ghazl El Mahallah.

The Congolese international scored his side’s third goal in the away win, reaching a milestone that secures his place in the club’s history.

The strike not only sealed the result but also marked a symbolic moment, as Mayele surpassed all previous scorers to stand alone at the top of Pyramids’ record books.

The achievement comes after a challenging period for the forward. Since the end of October 2025, Mayele had endured a run of 13 matches without finding the net.

The drought represented a sharp contrast to his earlier form, particularly during the previous campaign in the CAF Champions League, where he had been among the standout performers.

His overall numbers had dipped in both domestic competition and continental fixtures, and his attacking influence had also waned with the DR Congo national football team.

Questions had emerged over whether he could rediscover the sharpness that once defined his game.

This latest goal, however, may signal a shift in momentum. Beyond the statistical significance, it restores belief to a striker who had been searching for renewed confidence.

Reaching the 50-goal mark represents not just a personal triumph but a potential turning point ahead of upcoming international matches.

For Pyramids FC, Mayele’s milestone underlines his enduring contribution to the club. For the Democratic Republic of Congo, it offers hope that their leading forward is ready to rediscover his best form when it matters most.
