Kenyan Premier League champions Gor Mahia have been drawn against South Africa’s Supersport United in the Confederations of African Football (CAF) Cup during the draw that was done on Wednesday evening.
Gor, who were relegated to the second tier CAF inter-club competition after a 1-0 defeat to Tunisia’s Esperance last week, have a chance of redeeming themselves when they lock horns with the South African side.
Supersport eliminated Angola’s Petro de Luanda with a 2-1 aggregate in the second round preliminary of the Cup tie.
They beat Luanda 2-1 in the first leg at home, before settling for a barren stalemate in the return leg away to Angola.
Compared to Gor who are unbeaten in the KPL this season, Supersport have endured a difficult time in PSL, winning only a match in their last five outings.
Unlike Gor who lifted the KPL gong to their continental ticket, Supersport made it following the addition of two more teams by CAF in the Champions League last year from South Africa, after the phenomenal symposium held in Rabat, Morocco.
Gor head coach Dylan Kerr, who openly accused Esperance of harassment during their return leg in Egypt has indicated his charges are eying to soar high in the Cup.
Meanwhile, Football Kenya Federation (FKF) is lodging a complaint to CAF against Esperance from the Tunis debacle
