Kenyan Champions Gor Mahia have booked their place in the group stages of the Caf Confederation Cup following a nervy barren draw away to Cameroonian opposition New Star De Douala.
The outcome of Sunday evening’s match saw the 17-time Kenyan champions progressing on a 2-1 aggregate score after winning the first leg match 2-1 last weekend at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani in Nairobi.
This will be Gor Mahia’s second consecutive appearance in the tournament’s group stage following their maiden appearance last year.
For their heroics, a Sh27 million reward in cash money now awaits them.
Progression into the tournament will also provide some measure of consolation for K’Ogalo who two weeks ago suffered the heartbreak of being knocked out of the lucrative Caf Champions League by the narrowest of margins.
K’Ogalo failed to protect a healthy 3-1 advantage over Nigerian champions Lobi Stars from the first leg encounter in Nairobi, suffering a 2-0 loss in the reverse fixture to tumble out on the away goal rule.
Gor Mahia won the first leg match 2-1 last weekend at the at Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani in Nairobi, to give themselves a slim advantage going into the second leg away in Limbe.
