Mathare United beat Gor Mahia youth team to clinch their maiden U-20 title in a tight final played at Nyayo Stadium
Mathare United beat Gor Mahia youth by a solitary goal in the KPL U-20 tournament’s final played on Friday to become the August edition’s champions.
The match started in a lukewarm mode with both teams not showing much intent to score goals but the tempo changed in the last quarter of second half to hand Mathare United their sweet maiden title.
Super-sub Alfayo Oyugi stepped in to score past Ishmail Otieno from a free-kick at the stroke of 90th munites to give coach Gabriel Njoroge the biggest smile of the day.
Prior to this, Henry Juma, Davies Odongo and Nahashon Thiong’o had made notable attempts for Gor Mahia while Lawrence Luvanda was very instrumental for Mathare United. Gor Mahia dispatched Ushuru 2-0 in the semi-finals while Mathare overcame last year’s finalists Kakamega Homeboyz 3-1 in post-match penalties after regulation time had left the sides locked in a 1-1 stalemate.
Ushuru finished second runners up after edging out April’s finalists Kakamega Homeboyz 4-2 in post-match penalties in the third place play off staged at Camp Toyoyo on Thursday.

Collins you did your earlier posts in English. Why are you trying to Imitate Okekanango who is genuinely challenged but trying to communicate with others. You are boring us bwana. Kanango’s posts are naturally done your is fake. Style up bwana.
Funga macho ukifika kwa posta ya collin. akuna anayekulasimisa usome.
Creativity is the mother of entertainment, the humor of communication. We get the gist of the message. Collins, be our comedian, our Ojwang..I am no no queens English man, i know what you write is not your natural way, but i get entertained. Complement Okwekanango.
okewkanango would have said tick nyaka nam ataro to your post. I mentioned a carbon copy that is inferior to the original a few days ago…….if you catch my drift. To the boys, you win some, you lose some. Your time is coming!!!
Yes Omin mano koro tik nyaka kanyand animals . To litna ni nyolowa aftar 9o minets. Lakini nyo gitemo sana.
Yawa kiswahil gi Kisungu sumbua wiya. Pipol just cach my muth if thy think ngato nono just joksing. I try lakini some maneno napotea. halafu nachomo na dhlulo. Kanyo koro dhou nyale. Othrwse let i try anf try.
Good showing young lads,it is the nature of football that the better team during open play that doesn’t take their chances always ends up ruing them as we did today. Nevertheless we live to fight another day with lessons well learnt. Collins yes Ze Maria is around and taking the team thru the paces and will be in charge on the touchline against Nzoia Sugar, we can only hope the team shall rise up from it’s prolonged slumber and deliver a Master Class display as we re-discover our scoring-winning ways…
Struggling Gor fire coach, omera warumo
Ze Maria shot himself on the foot a long time ago and he is just making it worse for himself and the entire team. I can see him being fired very soon. Perhaps he will take the same flight out with Efusi’s Ivan Minnaert.
Fire this coach….very clueless and pathetic style of play. Poor coordination, poor team planning, poor fielding, poor techniques, poor execution of passes, poor pattern of play etc.
Fire the entire technical bench members led by coach Ze Maria. Bring back Frank Nuttal.
@Jamigori, why Nuttal? Shouldn’t we try another coach?I think Nuttal also lost it and had already taken sides. Hence can no longer lead the team
Now we’ve lost go TV Our strike force dead.If For didn’t have fans then we would be fighting with city stars
THE GENIUS WHAT A COACH HAS NOW LOST TO NZOIA. WHAT RACHIER DID TO FN HAS COME TO HAUNT HIM. THIS IS A TOURIST. THEY SAW SPORT PESA MONEY AND CAME RUNNING. WE HAVE TOURISTS AS COACHES IN INGWE AND GOR MAHIA.
RACHIER NI BURE KABISA. HE IS FIRING OTTOMAX AND YET THE GOALKEEPING DEPARTMENT HAS NOT HAD PROBLEMS. RACHIER THINKS THAT GOR MAHIA CLUB IS HIS OWN HOUSE . MUGABE BURE KABISA. HE HAS RUN OUT OF IDEAS. WE SHOULD FORCE HIM OUT OF OFFICE. MAY BE HE IS ALSO TOO OLD TO MANAGE GOR.
Instead of FN why not the Ugandan coach who was in Sofapaka (Timbe, was it?) ? Some of these European coaches don’t know the local spirit of the game. I also have an issue with our players. With a five-man strike force we still cannot get a goal. What we need is to clean the team from EC, TB and players. I think even with a cleless coach the players can give us something to be proud of. So many NationWide players have the fire to play for Gor but are not given a chance. We should even go to the Junior team and get the players from there
