South African coach Rulani Mokwena has continued his impressive run in Egyptian football after guiding Pyramids FC to an emphatic 4-1 victory over El-Gaish away from home, recording his 11th consecutive win with the club.
The victory further strengthened Pyramids’ position in the Egyptian Premier League, taking the team to 21 points and placing them five points ahead of Egyptian giants Al Ahly, who have a game in hand.
Mokwena’s side delivered another convincing performance on Tuesday, 20 October 2026, demonstrating their attacking quality and determination as they continued their winning streak.
The result marks another important milestone for the former Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates coach, whose progress in Egypt is attracting attention among South African football supporters.
Winning 11 matches in succession is a significant achievement, reflecting the consistency required to maintain momentum across successive fixtures. Pyramids’ latest victory also puts pressure on their closest challengers as the league campaign continues.
Although Al Ahly still have a match in hand, Pyramids have given themselves a valuable advantage at the top end of the standings. The Cairo-based giants remain within reach, meaning the title race is far from settled.
For Mokwena, the result represents another opportunity to establish himself at Pyramids and demonstrate his ability to compete in a demanding football environment outside South Africa.
The coach previously built a reputation in the Premier Soccer League, particularly during his time at Mamelodi Sundowns, where he was associated with domestic success and an attacking style of play.
His latest run in Egypt will further fuel discussions about his coaching career and the growing presence of South African tacticians in foreign leagues.
With Pyramids now on 21 points, attention will turn to whether Mokwena can extend the winning streak and maintain the club’s advantage over Al Ahly.
For now, the 4-1 triumph over El-Gaish provides another major boost for Pyramids as they continue their pursuit of success in the Egyptian Premier League.
