Mayele’s Hat-trick Leads Pyramids to a 3-1 Intercontinental Cup victory over Al Ahli

Pyramids FC secured a resounding 3-1 victory over hosts Al-Ahly of Saudi Arabia at the Jewel Stadium in the 2025 Intercontinental Cup quarterfinals.

Despite the match being held in Jeddah amidst massive Al-Ahly support, including the participation of all the club’s stars, such as Riyad Mahrez and Ivan Toney, Pyramids delivered an epic performance and deserved the historic victory by all standards.

Congolese Feston Mayele was the hero of the first match, scoring a hat-trick.

Mayele put Pyramids ahead in the 21st minute, before Ivan Toney equalized for Al-Ahly in the final minute of the first half via a penalty kick.

In the second half, Mayele surprised Al-Ahly with two goals in four minutes, completing his hat-trick and leading Jurčić’s side to the semifinals.
