KAGAME CUP 2014

Gor Mahia FC 1-2 KCC FC KCC FC opened their 2014 Kagame Cup campaign with victory after coming from a goal down to beat KPL champions Gor Mahia 2-1in the second of the day’s game played at Amahoro stadium. Uganda Cranes striker Daniel ‘Mzee’ Sserunkuma gave the Kenyan champions a deserved lead in the 27th minute before substitute Brian Majwega equalised for the Ugandan champions seven minutes after recess and later Umony netted the winner in the 88th minute. Gor Mahia started the brighter side and dominated proceedings launching numerous attacks on the KCC FC goal but goalie Yasin Mugabi was up to the task whenever called upon. Bobby Williamson’s charges however got a deserved lead after Musa Muhammad beat Namwanja Simon down the left to cross for Sserunkuma who tapped home despite a forest of legs inside the 18 yard area. The goal saw KCC FC coach George ‘Best’ Nsimbe react by substituting in the inefficient Steven Bengo for Brian Majwega but the Kenyan champions held on to their first half lead in a dominant display. After recess, Nsimbe made another change bringing on Brian Umony for Herman Wasswa. The Ugandan side started to dominate the game at this time and deservedly equalised through Majwega tapping home a fine cross from Tom Masiko. The Ugandan side was in ascendency at the moment but couldn’t break a resilient Gor backline manned by David Owino. At the other end, Gor Mahia threatened with Sserunkuma and later Timothy Otieno forcing a double save from Yasin Mugabi. With two minutes left on the clock, Brian Majwega broke down the left on a counter move and his low cross met Umony who slid the ball at the far corner past Onyango for KCC FC’s winner. KCC FC now top group B with maximum points and return to action on Sunday against Atletico at Nyamirambo. Last modified onFriday, 08 August 2014 18:34 200
