Fiston Mayele Strikes the Winning Goal

Pyramids FC etched their name into African football history by winning their first TotalEnergies CAF Super Cup with a 1-0 victory over RS Berkane of Morocco on Saturday evening at the 30 June Stadium in Cairo.

The decisive moment came in the 75th minute when Congolese striker Fiston Mayele capitalized on a chance inside the box to score the lone goal of the match. His clinical finish sent the home crowd into raptures as the Egyptian side celebrated a long-awaited continental triumph.

This victory gives Pyramids FC their second major continental title, following their CAF Champions League win last season. It highlights the club’s rapid growth both domestically and internationally, solidifying their status as one of Africa’s emerging football giants.

Meanwhile, 2021 champions RS Berkane delivered a spirited performance but fell short in their pursuit of a second Super Cup crown, unable to break through a disciplined Egyptian backline.

Rock-Solid Defense and Tactical Brilliance

Goalkeeper Ahmed El Shenawy was a standout performer for Pyramids FC, producing several crucial saves to deny the Moroccan side. The defensive pairing of Ahmed Sami and Mahmoud Marei held firm under pressure, ensuring their team maintained the clean sheet.

On the sidelines, Croatian head coach Krunoslav Jurčić showcased tactical excellence, adjusting his team’s formation in the final stages to withstand RS Berkane’s attacking waves. His sharp game management proved vital as the Egyptian side closed out the win with discipline and composure.

A New Powerhouse in African Football

When the final whistle blew, scenes of jubilation erupted among players, staff, and fans as Pyramids FC celebrated their historic achievement—one that reinforces Egypt’s continued dominance in African club competitions.

Despite the defeat, RS Berkane once again demonstrated why they remain one of the most consistent and competitive teams on the continent. The Moroccan club now looks ahead with determination, eager to return stronger and reclaim its place among Africa’s elite in future tournaments.
