Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Al Mahdi Soliman not having conceded a league goal in 217 minutes.

Abdallah El-Said, Islam Issa, Ibrahim Adel (2) and Mahmoud Saber found the net in that victory. As mentioned above, Pyramids "killed" Misr Lel Makasa in their previous game.

Before that, Pyramids had a home game versus Aswan which ended with a victory 2-0.
