Pyramids Edge Berkane 3-0 to Seal CAF Champions League Quarterfinal Berth
Pyramids celebrate a 3-0 victory that pushes them to CAF CL quarterfinals.

Match Recap

Nasser Maher, leading Pyramids, steered a 3-0 victory over RS Berkane on Sunday, in the fourth round of Group A matches of the CAF Champions League.

The winter signing from Cairo, Maher provided the assist for the opener to Mahmoud Abdel Hafiz 'Zlaqa' in the 11th minute, then doubled the lead himself in the 74th with a finish set up by Zlaqa.

Ahmed Atef 'Qata' added the third in the 80th minute.

Standings and Next Fixtures

Pyramids secured a last-16 berth by reaching ten points, well clear of Power Dynamos of Zimbabwe (four points) and Rivers United of Nigeria (one point). Berkane remained second with seven.

Punchline time — if Berkane’s defense were a password, it would be '1234': easy to crack when Nasser Maher is around. Also, Pyramids didn’t just win; they turned Berkane’s plan into a punchline—the scoreboard and the fans laughing in unison.
