The two teams had settled to a scoreless draw during the 90 minutes and went straight to penalties.<\/p>\n<p>The Brewers has been reduced to 10 men as early as the 2nd minute when goalkeeper Boniface Oluoch handled the ball outside the 18 yard box to stave off what looked like a certain goal.\u00a0 Gor Mahia had the upper hand in the first half as the Brewers sought to sit back and wait for counter-attacks. Dan Sserunkuma, Edwin Lavatsa and Paul Kiongera gave the Tusker defence nightmares with their marauding runs. However yet again Gor Mahia could not utilize the chances that came their way.<\/p>\n<p>Tusker came back into the game in the second half.\u00a0 However it was Gor Mahia who still had the upper hand in terms of possession. Dan Sserunkuma came close twice in the 1st 10 minutes of the second half. But each time he was foiled by George Opiyo in the Tusker goal. Neither team could find the back of the net after 90<\/p>\n<p>It was a drama filled penalty shootout. Gor Mahia scored their penalties through Dan Sserunkuma, Edwin Lavatsa, Kevin Omondi, Donald Mosoti, Solomon Nasio. But Tanzanian Ivo Mapunda was the hero of the day once again. He had been brought in as a substitute specifically for the penalty shootout. He did not dissapoint and saved two penalties.\u00a0 Moses Odhiambo and Israel Emuge saw their efforts saved by George Opiyo.<\/p>\n<p>It was ample revenge for Gor Mahia who had lost to Tusker on penalties during the same fixture last year.<\/p>\n<div id=\"__tbSetup\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/gor-mahia-win-dstv-super-cup\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gor Mahia bea Tusker 5-4 on post match penalties to lift the 2013 DSTV Super cup.
