The South African coach has been hard at work preparing his side for the upcoming Egyptian Premier League season, with Pyramids chasing a maiden league title.

The win comes after a 2-0 win over the Turkish side in their second pre-season clash, after the Sky Blues suffered a defeat to Iranian side Persepolis in their opening game.

Mokwena’s First Win in Turkey

According to Gate Ahram, Pyramids started the scoring through Abdel Rahman Magdy after a brilliant pass from Mahmoud Zalaka, before Al-Arabi equalised with a long-range strike late in the first half.

The Sky Blues regained control in the second half, with Ahmed Atef Qatta restoring the lead after following up on a ball from Youssef Obama, before Mostafa Ziko added a third from a Karim Hafez pass.

Mokwena is now getting to grips with his new squad ahead of their final pre-season outing, but he has still urged the club to find two new attacking options following Fiston Mayele’s departure.
