During the match, cameras captured an unusual moment when Yahsela handed a note of instructions to Mahrez, who spent a long time reading it while the match continued. This sparked widespread reactions on social media and in Saudi sports programs.
The match witnessed a historic victory for Egypt’s Pyramids team, thanks to a hat-trick by Congolese striker Fiston Mayele. The Egyptian team claimed the Africa, Asia, and Pacific Championship title, advancing to face the ‘Challenge Cup’ on December 13 against the winner of the match between Mexico’s Cruz Azul and the South American champion.
The winner will then meet France’s Paris Saint-Germain in the final four days later.
