Deep into stoppage time, Pyramids sealed the result when Karim Hafez converted a penalty in the 94th minute after a late foul inside the box.
The match also saw several key moments, including missed chances for Al Ahly’s Ahmed Sayed Zizo and a series of defensive interventions that kept Pyramids ahead after their opening goal.
The result marks a significant setback for Al Ahly in the title race, while Pyramids strengthen their position as strong contenders behind league leaders Zamalek.
