South African football coach Rulani Mokwena continues to make headlines in Egyptian football after guiding Pyramids FC to their 15th consecutive victory across all competitions.
The Egyptian giants maintained their impressive run on Saturday, 7 November 2026, after securing a comfortable 2-0 victory over El Dakhleya in the Egypt Cup. The result also confirmed Pyramids FC's progress to the last 16 of the competition, further strengthening Mokwena's growing reputation in African football.
Pyramids wasted little time making their intentions clear, with Youssef Obama opening the scoring in the eighth minute. The early goal gave Mokwena's men control of the encounter and allowed them to approach the remainder of the match with greater confidence.
Despite efforts from El Dakhleya to find a way back into the contest, Pyramids remained organised and continued searching for another goal to put the result beyond doubt.
Their persistence eventually paid off in the 75th minute when Mostafa Fathi found the back of the net to make it 2-0. His contribution effectively sealed the victory and ensured that Pyramids continued their remarkable winning sequence.
The latest result represents another significant achievement for Mokwena, who has enjoyed an impressive start to life in Egypt since taking charge of the club.
His influence has been reflected not only in the team's results but also in their consistency across different competitions. Pyramids have demonstrated their ability to compete effectively in domestic football while maintaining their ambitions on the continental stage.
Mokwena's individual achievements have also attracted attention, having been named Egyptian coach of the month in both September and October.
Meanwhile, Pyramids are also enjoying a positive campaign in the Egyptian League Cup, where they have collected six points from their opening two Group B matches.
However, the biggest challenge awaiting the South African tactician could come later this month when Pyramids face Egyptian powerhouse Al Ahly on November 23.
The highly anticipated league encounter could prove important in the title race, with Pyramids currently holding a four-point advantage over Al Ahly.
For Mokwena, the immediate objective will be maintaining the team's impressive momentum and ensuring that the players remain focused despite the growing expectations.
With 15 consecutive victories already secured, the South African coach is continuing to strengthen his reputation beyond South Africa's borders.
