Marumo Gallants secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory in a quarter-final second-leg clash played at Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg.
The only goal of the match was scored by Celimpilo Ngema who hit the back of the net in the 39th minute to hand Gallants the lead after the Egyptian big spenders’ poor marking at the back was exposed.
Gallants were then firm at the back as they frustrated Bafana Bafana winger Fagrie Lakay and his Pyramids teammates until Gabonese match referee Pierre Atcho blew the final whistle.
Gallants won the tie 2-1 on aggregate having held Pyramids to a 1-1 draw in the first-leg encounter which took place in Cairo last weekend.
