Pyramids FC vs Al Ittihad Match Recap - Nov 2, 2025

In a match that could be described as a tale of two teams moving in opposite directions, Pyramids FC emerged victorious over Al Ittihad with a scoreline of 2-1 at the 30 June Stadium on November 2, 2025. The win solidified Pyramids' position in the upper half of the Premier League table while further deepening Al Ittihad's struggles near the bottom.

The hosts started brightly and quickly took control of the game from the outset. In just the 12th minute, forward Marwan Hamdy scored a well-placed goal that sent the home crowd into a frenzy. His confident finish showcased his growing form and set the tone for what was to come. Even with this early lead, Pyramids would have several opportunities to extend their advantage but were met with resistance from an Al Ittihad side desperate to climb out of relegation territory.

As the first half unfolded, it became clear that Pyramids FC had most of the momentum. Their midfielders, particularly Walid El Karti and Mohanad Lasheen, dominated possession and orchestrated their team's attacks with precision. Despite their efforts, however, they could not add another goal before halftime.

Al Ittihad struggled offensively throughout the first half and failed to threaten Pyramids' defense meaningfully. The visitors entered halftime trailing by one goal while looking for solutions to break through a stout Pyramids backline. Coach Mohamed Omar likely emphasized attacking strategies during the break as they returned with renewed determination.

The second half saw an increase in intensity from both sides. Al Ittihad began to push forward more aggressively, which eventually paid off late in the game when they earned a penalty kick after a controversial foul in the box against Karim El Deeb in the 85th minute. With pressure mounting and hopes dwindling, El Deeb stepped up to take it himself but was unable to convert; his shot was saved by an alert Ahmed El-Shenawy in goal for Pyramids.

In contrast, Pyramids FC capitalized on Al Ittihad's desperation just minutes later when substitute Ahmed Atef struck decisively in the 80th minute, giving them a crucial cushion at 2-0. His goal demonstrated not only skill but also how effectively coach Juan Carlos Garrido utilized his squad depth.

As if scripted for extra drama, Al Ittihad responded almost immediately following Atef's goal. In injury time, Fady Farid managed to find some life within his team and connected beautifully for what would be their sole goal of the day. Although it brought life back into their efforts briefly, it wasn't enough as time ran out on their comeback attempt.

This match marks an important turning point for Pyramids FC who now sit comfortably in seventh place with 17 points from eight matches-trending upward after five straight wins across all competitions leading up to this match. Conversely, Al Ittihad finds themselves languishing in 20th place with just eight points from eleven outings-a trend that will need urgent attention if they hope to avoid relegation.

Reflecting on my pre-match predictions where I mistakenly downplayed Pyramids FC's sharp form and overstated Al Ittihad's chances for redemption-it appears that optimism alone doesn't secure points on matchday as reality rang true at full-time.

Looking ahead, Pyramids FC will face El Mokawloon next on November 25, continuing their campaign buoyed by confidence from this win. Meanwhile, Al Ittihad faces another significant test against El Gouna FC on November 23-one that may determine if they can begin climbing out of an increasingly deep hole.

For fans tuning in next week: expect both teams fighting hard-but only one can afford mistakes moving forward.
