Pyramids FC have secured qualification for the group stages of the CAF Champions League after recording an emphatic 4-0 victory over El Merriekh Bentiu in the second leg of their second preliminary round tie.

The Egyptian club delivered a commanding performance to complete the decisive victory, with head coach Rulani Mokwena guiding his team through to the next stage of Africa’s premier club football competition.

Pyramids FC entered the second-leg encounter knowing that a strong performance would be crucial to their qualification hopes. They responded with an impressive display, scoring four goals without conceding to confirm their progress to the group stages.

The result underlines the club’s ambition to remain competitive on the continental stage as they continue their pursuit of success in the CAF Champions League.

Mokwena’s role in guiding the team to qualification will attract attention as Pyramids prepare for the more demanding challenges ahead. The South African coach has been tasked with helping the Egyptian side maintain its competitiveness and build a team capable of challenging some of the continent’s strongest clubs.

The group-stage qualification gives Pyramids an opportunity to test themselves against a wider range of African opponents. The next phase of the competition is expected to present tougher contests, with clubs competing for places in the knockout rounds.

For Pyramids, the 4-0 victory also provides a positive foundation as they look ahead to the challenges of the continental campaign. Maintaining their attacking efficiency and defensive organisation will be important if they are to progress further in the tournament.

El Merriekh Bentiu, meanwhile, were unable to prevent the heavy defeat, bringing their participation in this preliminary-round tie to an end.

The CAF Champions League remains one of Africa’s most prestigious club competitions, bringing together leading teams from across the continent to compete for continental honours.

With their place in the group stages secured, Pyramids FC will now turn their attention to the next phase, where they will aim to build on this performance and strengthen their bid for a successful campaign under Mokwena.
