Johannesburg: Walid el Karti equalised in stoppage time to earn Pyramids of Egypt a 1-1 draw away to Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa on Saturday in the CAF Champions League final first leg.
El Karti nodded a deep cross past goalkeeper Ronwen Williams at the far post in the 94th minute to stun a sell-out 50,000 crowd at Loftus Versfeld stadium in Pretoria.
Sundowns had taken the lead after 54 minutes through Brazilian Lucas Ribeiro, who ended a 1,080-minute Champions League goal drought by scoring from close range at the second attempt.
His first shot was parried by goalkeeper Ahmed el Shenawy, but he made no mistake when he regained possession, slamming the ball into the roof of the net.
