CAF CL: Marawan Hamdi the hero as Pyramids pip Sagrada to last 8

Pyramids FC clinched their first-ever CAF Champions League quarter-final berth with a dramatic 1-0 victory over Sagrada Esperança in Angola on Saturday.

Substitute Marawan Hamdi proved to be the hero, netting the winner in the 94th minute to send the Egyptian side to the top of Group D with 10 points.

The match, played at a brisk tempo, saw Pyramids dominate possession but struggle to convert their chances.

Sagrada had their own opportunities, with their forward missing a golden chance in the 75th minute.

But as the game seemed destined for a draw, Hamdi capitalized on a defensive lapse to score the decisive goal.

The defeat leaves Sagrada on five points, in third place, while Pyramids cement their position at the summit of the group.
