Pirates survived the threat of Pyramids at FNB Stadium on Saturday evening just hours after Sundowns also come out without scoring against Al Ahly at Loftus Versfeld.
The Bucs will play the second leg at the 30 June Stadium on Friday straight after Al Ahly face off with Sundowns 15 km away at the Cairo International Stadium.
CAF has appointed Patrice Tanguy Mebiame in what will be his second Champions League match with the whistle this season after doing the same when Al Ahly won 4-2 against Stade d’Abidjan at the same venue in Cairo during the group stages.
Fellow Gabonese Pierre Ghislain Atcho will lead the VAR assisted by Kenyan Stephen Yiembe who is heading to the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup as an assistant referee.
VAR disallowed two goals scored by Pyramids in the first leg at FNB Stadium.

Beida will have Ivorian Adou Hermann Desire Ngoh and Koffi Kossi from Togo as assistants with veteran Ethiopian referee Bamlak Tessema as head of VAR and assisted by Rwandan female referee Salima Mukansanga.
