Pitso Mosimane extended his unbeaten start to three matches as Al Ahly drew 0-0 with Pyramids in the Egyptian Premier League match on Sunday.
The South African tactician's assistant and compatriot Cavin Johnson sat on Al Ahly bench for the first time.
Pyramids were expected to present Mosimane with his biggest challenge since he took over the reins at the Red Devils earlier this month.
Al Ahly's opponents were previously known as Al Assiouty Sport before Saudi Sports Authority chairman Turki Al Sheikh took over the club in May 2018 and renamed it Pyramids.
