What you need to know:

  • Only a few Leopards fans turned up for the game as many made good their threat of boycotting showing their displeasure of the contest being staged outside Nairobi. 
  • Both teams battled to a barren draw in the first leg of the ‘Mashemeji’ derby at Nyayo National Stadium on March 30.

Gor Mahia’s hopes of defending their Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKF-PL) title diminished further on Monday after they settled for a 1-1 draw with their bitter-rivals AFC Leopards at Raila Odinga Stadium in Homa Bay County.

The 12,000-capacity Raila Odinga Stadium was fully packed in the match which marked the first-ever ‘Mashemeji’ derby to be played in Homa Bay.
