Congolese forward seals glory with decisive strike as Egyptian side claim Africa’s Super Cup
"Finals Man" Fiston Mayele Delivers Again as Pyramids Lift CAF Super Cup
Pyramids FC etched their name into African football history on Saturday night lifting the CAF Super Cup for 1st time ever after hard fought 1-0 victory over Moroccan giants RS Berkane at the Air Defense Stadium in Cairo.
The Egyptian side who entered the clash as reigning CAF Champions League winners following their dramatic triumph over Mamelodi Sundowns, secured the silverware thanks to late strike from their big game specialist Fiston Mayele.
"Finals Man" Delivers Again
With tension mounting in cagey final, Mayele once again rose to the occasion. The Congolese striker who has built reputation for decisive moments in cup finals latched onto precise cross from Moroccan full back Mohamed Chibi before rifling a low shot past the Berkane goalkeeper in the 75 minute.
It was another clutch moment from Mayele who had already scored in Pyramids Egypt Cup triumph, their historic CAF Champions League final and even netted hat trick in the Intercontinental Cup against Al Ahli Saudi earlier this season.
