Showdown is expected at Bukhungu stadium on Sunday as Gor Mahia Youth FC face Kapenguria Heroes in the boys National Grand Finale of the Chapa Dimba Na Safaricom Youth tournament.
Gor Mahia edged out Mukumu boys to qualify for finals scoring 3:1 despite playing one-man less after their key striker Dickson Omwenga got a red card for rough play.
It was a tough call for both sides that sought dominance in the game played in a fully packed Bukhungu stadium.
“The game was tensed and so tough for us since we were one-man less. Our captain, who is also our key player, did not play since he got a red card in our previous game," said Otieno Selassie, Striker, Gor Mahia Youth FC.
"This was not easy but we did our best. We will face our opponents tomorrow in the finals with courage and hope to triumph,” he added.
Kapenguria Heroes from West Pokot also qualified for finals after putting up a stunning game against Ombek Red Devils from Nyanza, winning 3:1 in a penalty shootout after a 2:2 draw in regular time.
Ombek lost a penalty in the 20th minute denying them the golden chance to take an early lead.
“This win is a great opportunity for us and honestly it has not been very easy. The game was tough as our opponents kept equalizing each minute we scored. We still have a tough match tomorrow but remain hopeful to win,” said Brian Lumumba, Goalkeeper, Kapenguria Heroes.
Gor Mahia, therefore, faces Kapenguria Heroes in the grand finale on Sunday in what promises to be a cracker.
