Shure, a middle-aged man residing in Garissa could not contain his joy after a first-half draw between France and Belgium.
He staked 50,000 shillings on the outcome of the first half.
He not only predicted the draw but got the 0-0 scoreline right.
As soon as the whistle signalling the end of the first half went off, Shure stripped to his undergarments while shouting and dancing.
''I was very tense in the dying minutes of the first half. My 50,000 was on the line I crossed my fingers hoping that no team would score. Allah heard my prayers and the first half ended in a barren draw,'' a breathless Shure said.
The two teams showed equal strength in the first half, with no side showing initiative to score.
According to pundits, the reticence of both teams was necessary to allow them to study each other before striking in the second half.
