Kaizer Chiefs target Fiston Mayele and Bafana Bafana forward Fagrie Lakay helped Pyramids win their first-ever trophy on Friday evening.
The club, previously known as Al Assiouty Sport, triumphed over ZED with a score of 1-0 in the final of the Egyptian Cup.
The 2023/24 season just came to an end in Egypt following delays for various reasons including the postponement of some Egyptian league games due to the U-23 national team's participation in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
While Lakay’s Pyramids failed to win the league despite being the log leaders for some time during the season, they have secured the Egyptian Cup as a form of consolation.
At some point, Pyramids were holding a substantial 17-point lead over Al Ahly who were second, however, the Club of the Century won all its games in hand.
Ultimately, Al Ahly emerged as the league champions, with Pyramids finishing the season in the runner-up position.
KAIZER CHIEFS TARGET MAYELE THE HERO AS PYRAMIDS HOIST FIRST-EVER TROPHY
In a contest held at the Borg El Arab Stadium in Alexandria, Mayele netted a decisive late goal, enabling Pyramids to secure their inaugural trophy since the club's establishment.
This was Mayele’s 21st goal this season in 43 games that he played in all competitions. He scored 23 in a total of 45 matches he played since joining the club at the start of the season.
Lakay, on the other hand, was in the starting line-up but was taken off at the start of the second half. This is also his first trophy since joining the club in January 2022.
He has scored 32 goals and registered 10 assists in 115 games he has played for Pyramids.
