KPL Super Cup Pushed Back And Returned To Nairobi

The Kenyan Premier League Super Cup fixture between Gor Mahia and Kariobangi Sharks has been pushed back to this Sunday a day earlier than it was initially scheduled.

The new season 2018-19 curtain raiser has also been re-booked at the Kasarani Stadium from the Machakos’ Kenyatta Stadium.

The two clubs, who are the Kenya’s representatives in the CAF interclubs this season have agreed to the changes.

“We had a talk with Kariobangi Sharks last night and we agreed we better have the match on Sunday at Kasarani,” Gor’s boss Ambrose Rachier told the club’s official website.

K’Ogalo edged out Nyasa Big Bullets 1-0 in the CAF Champions League preliminary round first leg match Wednesday while Kariobangi Sharks walloped Djibouti’s Arta Solar 6-1 in the Confederation Cup a day earlier at the Kasarani Stadium.
