Gor Mahia one match away from Everton trip
Champions K’Ogalo beat Singida to set up dream final with Tanzanian giants Simba.
Only 90 minutes stand between Gor Mahia and a historic rematch with English Premier League side Everton.
The SportPesa Premier League champions defeated Singida United 2-0 in yesterday’s Super Cup semifinal at a rain-soaked Afraha Stadium, in Nakuru.
The holders, will now aim for victory against Tanzanian champions Simba SC in Sunday’s final, before plotting revenge against the Toffees, who beat them 2-1 in Dar es Saalam last year.
Prolific Rwandese international Meddie Kagere was the hero bragging a brace to grant his coach Dylan Kerr’s dream final with Simba, who saw off Kakamega Homeboyz 5-4 in post-match penalties.
“It is a great feeling to have scored a brace and I thank God for helping us reach the final. We now have just one match to go before we make the England trip. We know it will not be easy against Simba, but we are ready for them,” a delighted Kagere told The Standard Sports.
Kerr was equally excited after his dream of meeting his former employers, Simba in the final, came to fruition.
“There are two people in Simba that I wish would have left early. It was disrespectful to see one of the Simba officials giving a high five to Singida players.
“Come Sunday, we will be prepared and ready to give the best performance ever,” said Kerr.
