Pyramids opened his career in the African Confederation, defeating Libyan Al-Ittihad with an unanswered goal.
John Antwi scored the only goal of the match in the first round match of 32, which was held at Alexandria Stadium, due to the lack of Libyan teams playing at home.
The return match will take place on January 5 in Egypt, as this time it is the Pyramids match.
The first half started with control of Pyramids and a reserve defense of Al Ittihad.
In the 11th minute, Pyramids almost opened the scoring after a pass from Ramadan Sobhi to Antwi, who hit it, but in the Al Ittihad goalkeeper.
The pyramids continued to dominate the ball, but without a real threat to the Libyan goal.
And instead of wasted time, the excitement of the first half saw Abdullah Al-Saeed send a perfect cross to Antwi inside the penalty area, but he shot it over the bar in the 45th minute.
A minute later, Al-Ittihad forward Sharif Ikrami dodged his team’s left side, but was unable to control the ball to save it.
Pyramids made the first substitutions between the halves of the game with the relegation of Islam Issa and the departure of Eric Traore to activate the team’s attack.
The pyramids looked fiercer in the second half and Issa passed the ball with a superb header to Ramadan Sobhi, but Ramadan Sobhi hit him weakly in the goalkeeper’s hand in the 51st minute.
In the 55th minute, John Antwi opened the scoring after a perfect cross by Ahmed Tawfiq, around which Antwi headed in, but the keeper blocked it and Antwi followed with a shot inside the goal.
Mahmoud participated in the 67th minute, replacing substitute Islam Issa, who was injured after leaving for less than 20 minutes.
During the final 20 minutes, Libyan Al-Ittihad tried to equalize by advancing offensively, amid a balanced performance from Pyramids.
Sohaib, the Libyan club’s player, fired a free kick on the edge of the penalty area, but Sherif Ikrami responded firmly.
The Libyan Union nearly tied in the 83rd minute after Moaz Issa was left alone in goal, but Sherif Ekrami saved the situation brilliantly.
Pyramids tried to secure their victory with a second goal off a superb header from Mahmoud Wadi in the 90th minute, but goalkeeper Moaz Al-Lafi brilliantly deflected it into a corner kick.
The match ended with the victory of the Pyramids team, without response, in the first leg, with the second leg to be played at the Cairo Military College on January 5.
