Pyramids Club secured an important 1-1 draw away from home against Morocco's Royal Army in a match held at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat, as part of the first leg of the CAF Champions League quarter-finals.

With this result, the qualification ticket to the semi-finals remains postponed until the anticipated return match at the Air Defense Stadium on March 21st, where the team advancing to continue the journey in the tournament will be determined.

The Royal Army team took the lead early in the eighth minute through player Ahmed Hamoudan, who seized an opportunity inside the penalty area to give the Moroccan team an early advantage in the match.

At the start of the second half, Pyramids succeeded in equalizing the score through player Mahmoud Zalaka in the 52nd minute, following a well-organized attack that concluded with a shot finding the net.

Pyramids played the match with a lineup that included goalkeeper Ahmed El-Shenawy, and in defense Ahmed Samy, Mohamed El-Sheibi, Mahmoud Marei, and Ahmed Tawfik, while the attack was led by Fiston Mayele.

The match saw the absence of the Royal Army fans following a decision by the Confederation of African Football to hold the game without spectators due to previous disciplinary sanctions on the Moroccan club.

The decision was implemented following riots that occurred during the team's match against Egypt's Al Ahly in the group stage, which resulted in fan-related sanctions being imposed on the club.

The winner of the match between Pyramids and the Royal Army will face the victor of the encounter between Morocco's Renaissance Berkane and Sudan's Al Hilal in the semi-finals of the continental championship.
