Pyramids coach wants to avoid Al Ahly's mistakes against Mamelodi Sundowns: What are these mistakes? Krunoslav Jurčić

CAF Champions League fans are awaiting the most important match of the tournament this season, after Pyramids FC managed to come away with a dramatic draw in the final seconds of the first leg of the final in Pretoria, South Africa at the Mamelodi Sundowns Stadium, the task remains to finish the job in Egypt in the second leg, on Sunday, June 1, at the June 30 Stadium in the Egyptian capital, Cairo.

Before reaching this final, Mamelodi Sundowns managed to overcome the obstacle of Al Ahly of Egypt by drawing with them in Cairo in the second leg, a result that favored Masandawana to reach the continental final and await their title that has been missing since 2016

Krunoslav Jurčić wants to learn from Al Ahly's lesson and not make the same mistake as the Red Giant.

What did the Portuguese say about the lessons learned from Al Ahly's elimination?

"My philosophy of football is different—we will stick to our style," Jurčić stated. He knows Egypt could make African football history by becoming the first nation with four different clubs winning the continental championship.

A win or even a draw at home would secure Pyramids FC their maiden CAF Champions League trophy. Previously, Egyptian giants Al Ahly, Zamalek, and Ismaily have all claimed the title. No other African country has seen four distinct clubs achieve this feat.

"Al Ahly faced Sundowns, scored early, and then defended until the final whistle. That’s a tactical choice—I respect it. They might win 1-0 and advance to the final," he added.
