Cup Set to Sizzle: Pyramids and Al Masry Reach Egypt Cup Round of 16

Cup Round of 32 Highlights

In Cairo, Pyramids FC advanced to the Egypt Cup Round of 16 with a 2-0 win over FC Masr at PetroSport Stadium on Sunday, a result earned despite several first-team regulars being sidelined for Africa Cup of Nations duties.

Mustafa Abdul-Raouf 'Ziko' and Abdel Rahman Magdy found the back of the net in the 62nd and 88th minutes, clinching the victory for Croatian coach Krunoslav Yurcic and booking a tie against El Gouna in the next round.

Al Masry’s High-Scoring Progress

Meanwhile, at the Suez New Stadium, Al Masry battled to a 4-2 win over Dakrns in another Round of 32 clash. Karim Bambo converted a penalty to put the hosts ahead in the 18th minute, while Dakrns answered through Mustafa Safwat in the 23rd.

Munther Tamim then put Al Masry ahead in the 37th minute, and Omar El-Sa’i doubled the lead from a 45th+4 penalty. Mohamed Morsi pulled one back for Dakrns in the 61st, but Karim Bambo struck again for Al Masry in the 68th to seal the 4-2 margin.

With these results, Al Masry progressed to face the winner of the Zed vs G-Sport match in the Round of 16. The team has reached the final in the last two editions, confirming its continued Cup pedigree.

In short, a day of Cup football that delivered goals, drama, and a reminder that nothing is guaranteed until the final whistle.

Punchlines: If football were a comedy club, today’s matches would be two headlining acts trading goals like witty one-liners. And remember, in cup football, a two-goal cushion is just a suggestion—until the whistle blows, that cushion still counts as a nap pillow for the defending side.
