On Friday, October 4, 2019, Uasin Gishu, the reigning football champions, suffered a shocking defeat in the County Assembly Sports Association (CASA) games.
They lost 6-5 to Kakamega in a post-match penalty shootout, marking the end of their journey in the quarter-finals.
The match, played at Eldoret Hill School, had ended in a 0-0 draw during normal time, with neither team able to break the deadlock.
Uasin Gishu's nominated MCA, Samora Machel, had a chance to score but was denied by Kakamega's goalkeeper, David Shitsala.
Kakamega's captain, Boniface Otsanga, attributed their victory to discipline and teamwork, saying, "Uasin Gishu have always been our biggest opponents but after trouncing them on their home turf, it's beyond doubt that we will get to the finals."
With this win, Kakamega will now face off against either Kericho or the winner between Trans Nzoia and Siaya in the semi-finals, to be played on Saturday.
