Nile League: Pyramids extend unbeaten run in dramatic fashion; ZED return to winning ways

The final day of Week 15 in the Nile Egyptian League saw two encounters, with Pyramids securing a late victory against Tala’ea El Gaish and ZED returning to winning form against Ghazl El Mahalla.

Pyramids 2-1 Tala’ea El Gaish

Pyramids continued their dominance with a thrilling 2-1 victory over Tala’ea El Gaish, securing their sixth consecutive win and extending their unbeaten streak to 16 matches across all competitions, including 14 wins.

Ibrahim Adel opened the scoring for Pyramids in the 27th minute, after a low cross from Congolese winger Fiston Mayele inside the penalty area. Tala’ea El Gaish equalized late in the 85th minute through Ahmed Samir, who found the net with a left-footed strike inside the box.

However, Pyramids didn’t settle for a draw, with Mohamed Hamdy scoring the decisive goal in the 94th minute.
