Enppi 1-2 Pyramids FC: Mayele and Sobhi Inspire Away Win in Egyptian Premier League

Pyramids FC secured a 2-1 away victory over Enppi in the Egyptian Premier League on September 18, 2026, recovering from a second-half setback to claim all three points through goals from Fiston Mayele and Ramadan Sobhi.

The win underlined Pyramids’ title credentials and showcased their ability to respond under pressure. Enppi made the match competitive and briefly levelled from the penalty spot, but Pyramids’ superior quality in the final third ultimately told.

Match Overview

Pyramids started the match with authority, pressing Enppi high and forcing turnovers in midfield. Their early dominance was rewarded when Fiston Mayele opened the scoring, finishing calmly after a well-worked move. Enppi, however, grew into the contest and found an equaliser after the break when Ahmed Amin converted a penalty.

The response from Pyramids was swift and decisive. Ramadan Sobhi restored the lead with a clever finish, and from there the visitors managed the game with composure, limiting Enppi’s chances and using their experience to see out the result.

Key Moments

• 22nd minute: Pyramids took the lead when Fiston Mayele latched onto a through ball and slotted a low finish past the Enppi goalkeeper.
• 41st minute: Enppi almost responded before half-time, but a goal-bound effort was blocked inside the six-yard box.
• 54th minute: Enppi were awarded a penalty after a foul in the area, and Ahmed Amin sent the goalkeeper the wrong way to make it 1-1.
• 67th minute: Pyramids regained the lead when Ramadan Sobhi cut inside from the left and curled a precise shot into the far corner.

• 90+4th minute: Pyramids cleared a late delivery into the box and ran down the clock to secure the win.

Tactical Story

Pyramids controlled the midfield for long periods, using quick combinations and wide overlaps to stretch Enppi’s defensive shape. Mayele’s movement in behind was a constant threat, while Sobhi’s dribbling gave the team a creative outlet when the game became tighter.

Enppi’s penalty gave them belief, and for a short spell they looked capable of taking the game to Pyramids. But Pyramids’ experience showed in the way they regained their structure after conceding. They slowed the tempo when needed, pressed at the right moments, and protected the central areas late on.

Standout Players

Fiston Mayele was a constant menace, scoring the opener and occupying Enppi’s defenders throughout. Ramadan Sobhi delivered the decisive moment with a composed finish and was dangerous whenever he isolated his marker. Ahmed El Shenawy made a crucial late save that proved just as important as the goals.

For Enppi, Ahmed Amin was the brightest performer, scoring from the spot and linking play intelligently. Their goalkeeper made several saves to keep the scoreline close, but Enppi lacked the final pass to punish Pyramids in the closing stages.

Egyptian Premier League Context

Pyramids FC are expected to challenge at the top of the Egyptian Premier League table, and away wins like this are exactly the kind of results that sustain a title push. The three points keep them in the leading group and reinforce their reputation as one of the league’s most balanced sides.

Enppi remain a competitive mid-table outfit with enough quality to trouble stronger opponents, but consistency remains the challenge. They matched Pyramids for spells but were ultimately undone by the visitors’ efficiency in key moments.
