Another quick change for Namungo came in the 48th minute when former Simba SC forward Shiza Kichuya came on for Hamisi Swalehe. A change at the hour mark proved vital for Pyramids as the eventual goalscorer came on for Mahmoud Saber.
Ahmed Samy and Ahmed Fathi changed places in the Pyramids team as they consolidated their efforts to break the deadlock. Reliants Lusajo was introduced for Eric Kiwzera three minutes after the hour mark before Stephen Sey came on for Adam Salamba.
While Namungo had managed to come out of the first half unscathed, they conceded in the 65th minute to hand Pyramids a third win in the group. Ibrahim scored with an assist from Ibrahim Hassan to condemn the Tanzanian outfit to a sixth consecutive group loss.
Morocco has further attributed the team’s poor run in the competition to his players lacking the experience to play on such a big stage and also fatigue, which affected some of his players but promised to work on it before the final game.
“We have not had a good outing in the group stage and our results have not been impressive because it is clear we do not have the required experience to compete effectively in international matches despite the differences in the quality of the players we face,” Morocco said as quoted by
“In our last game [against Pyramids away], we will fight to get a win, we want to finish with at least a point if not points since our journey is already over so we are entering the camp to start our preparations for the away match with the target of getting something from it.”

It is a Tsh.2 billion contract which has never happened before in Tanzania, Kenya even in South Africa. Vunjabei understands the value of this contract and it is the reason why they have decided to manufacture kits and merchandise for our junior, women, and senior teams. Last season, we were making just Tsh.100 million from the same deal with a different company, but it has skyrocketed to Tsh.2 billion and it shows how big our brand is, how far we have grown. We had 11 companies battling for this deal including Umbro and Adidas, and a certain company from the Netherlands but Vunjabei convinced us. They had a better deal and we chose to work with them.
Honestly, as a coach, it makes it even difficult to talk about this match. The game was played outside and it was very difficult for us especially when it was delayed for almost one hour, Kaindu told reporters at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium after the game . We had all the Covid-19 results but they kept coming in batches and I do not know how many in the starting line up we had to change. At one time we had 11 players with two goalkeepers which made it very difficult for us. Honestly speaking, we are not the first club that has complained about the reception in Tanzania. I think all the teams that have been coming have been complaining and we want to see what kind of a report is going to be given to Caf.
