Pyramids FC of Egypt have thrashed Enyimba 4-1 in the quarter-final of the 2020/21 CAF Confederation Cup.

The first leg of the knockout phase was played in Cairo on Sunday.

Victor Mboama opened scoring for the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) side in the first minute of play.

The lead only lasted for 14 minutes, after which Ramadhan Sobhi equalised for the home side.

Both sides went into the break all square.

Four minutes into the second half of play, Abdallah El Said doubled Pyramids’ lead.

As the play continued, Ibrahim Adel extended the host’s lead in the 58th minute.

Adel compounded Enyimba’s woes when he netted his second of the night and the fourth for Pyramid.

The defeat has left Fatai Osho’s team with a herculean task of scoring three unreplied goals in the return leg to have any chance of making it to the semi-final.

The second leg of the quarter-final will be played in Aba, Abia state, on May 23.
