What a night for Gor Mahia fans? What a historic moment at Kasarani! It is not everyday that a team with 9 men wins a high profile match. But doing so in a match with so much pressure, that is something else.
Jacques Tuyisenge, the man who has forged a reputation for delivering on the big stage, has just written his name in the history books as the man who delivered Gor to the CAF Confederations Cup Quarter Finals.
Tuyisenge, held his nerves to dispatch a second half penalty, that gave Gor the lead. He also superbly led the line, running his socks off, holding the ball high for a team with 9 men. And he could have scored more as he hit the woodwork twice in the second half.
Tuyisenge, the man who doesn’t speak match is now one of the top scorers in Africa with 4 goals.
And he surprised one fan with his Jersey after the match.
LOVELY GESTURE!

The fan had asked Tuyisenge to score a goal early because he had an assignment.
And Tuyisenge did not disappoint. Now that is a very treasured memento for this fan. He will pass it from generation to generation.
Gor Mahia should do everything humanely possible to ensure Tuyisenge signs a new deal. We don’t want Kagere business.
