We deserved a win – Pyramids FC coach Krunoslav Jurcic after Zamalek defeat

Head coach of Pyramids FC, Krunoslav Jurcic feels his outfit should have beaten Zamalek in the semifinals of the Egyptian Cup on Thursday.

Pyramids, who are reigning CAF Champions League holders succumbed to a 5-4 penalty shootouts defeat to Zamalek after a pulsating goalless draw in regulation time.

Despite their dominant performance, Pyramids fell short to Zamalek at the stadium of Al Wahda Club in the UAE.

Having suffered defeat to Zamalek, Pyramids will now face Ceramica Cleopatra in the third-place match. Meanwhile Zamalek have set up a rivalry final match against Al Ahly on Sunday, November 9, 2025.

According to Jurcic, Pyramids FC deserved a win against Zamalek considering their output throughout the highly competitive clash.

“We congratulate them, but the team suffered clear refereeing injustice, as at least two penalty kicks were not awarded in their favor.” He said.

Despite missing out on final, Pyramids will be hoping to triumph over Ceramica Cleopatra to secure the bronze medal of the Egyptian Cup.
