The result gives Mokwena a dream beginning to his tenure at the club. Pyramids scored three times while keeping a clean sheet, becoming the only side on Matchday 1 to achieve that combination of goals scored and none conceded.
Pyramids controlled the match from the outset and showed clear attacking intent. They created a series of opportunities and converted three of them to secure a comfortable win on the road. The performance reflected strong organisation and a clear understanding of the new coach’s requirements, even at this early stage.
Ghazl El Mahallah struggled to contain the visitors’ movement and quality in the final third. Despite periods of resistance, they were unable to create sustained threat and finished the match without finding the net. Pyramids’ defensive structure limited the home side to few clear chances, underlining the balance in the team’s display.
The three goals and clean sheet will provide significant confidence for Mokwena and his players. Starting the season with a dominant away victory sets a positive tone and places Pyramids among the early pace-setters in the league. The result also demonstrates the squad’s ability to adapt quickly to the new coaching regime.
For Ghazl El Mahallah the defeat leaves them with work to do as they look to recover in subsequent fixtures. They will need to improve both defensively and in attack if they are to compete more effectively against the league’s stronger sides.
Mokwena will be encouraged by the manner of the performance as much as the scoreline. The combination of clinical finishing and defensive solidity offers a solid foundation on which to build. Attention now turns to the next round of matches as Pyramids look to maintain their early momentum.
The opening-day success marks a strong first statement under the new coach. With three goals scored and a clean sheet secured, Pyramids have begun the Egyptian Premier League campaign in impressive fashion.
