Pyramids FC secured their first-ever CAF Champions League title after defeating Mamelodi Sundowns 2-1 on Sunday night.
Masandawana made just a single change from the first-leg and recalled Jayden Adams for Arthur Sales, while Ramadan Sobhi came in as the sole change for Pyramids.
Sundowns enjoyed a lot of the ball in the opening stages, but survived a scare when Fiston Mayele side-footed a floated cross against the side-netting.
Mayele made amends in the midway stage of the first half as he pounced on a defensive error by Grant Kekana in the box and sent a powerful first-time finish beyond Ronwen Williams.
Pyramids enjoyed complete control at this stage and nearly got a second goal through a header by Sobhi following a corner-kick, but Williams made the save to keep Sundowns in the contest.
The Brazilians got a golden chance in stoppage time when Lucas Ribeiro played Tashreeq Matthews through on goal, but the latter failed to beat goalkeeper Ahmed El Shenawy in the box.
Masandawana showed a lot of energy following the resumption and threatened the equaliser when a long-range strike from Teboho Mokoena stung the gloves of El Shenawy.
The Egyptian outfit, however, proved more decisive and doubled the lead through a point-blank header by Ahmed Samy following a free-kick for Sobi.
Sundowns looked for a route back thus an attacking substitution saw them introduce Peter Shalulile, Thapelo Morena and Sales.
However, the Brazilians' persistence reaped dividends when Rayners volleyed in the near corner following a loose ball, with the goal approved by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR).
Sundowns came close to the leveller three minutes to the end through a close-range effort from Shalulile, but El Shenawy made a smart save.
Masandawana pushed relentlessly in the lengthy stoppage time, but the Egyptian big-spenders remained resilient and claimed their maiden Champions League title.
