FOOTBALL FKF Cup: Hat-trick hero Gitego inspires AFC Leopards over spirited PAC University
Gitego completed a hat-trick for Leopards, two of those goals being set up by Kaycie Odhiambo, playing in midfield on the afternoon to knock out a spirited PAC University from the 2023/2024 FKF Cup.
However, they were surprised by the Kwale-based side in a match played at Ukunda Showgrounds, losing 5-4 in post-match penalties after the match ended in a goalless draw.
Denmak have now advanced to the Round of 16, where they will face National Super League side SS Assad.
K’Ogalo started the match slowly with Denmak seeing a lot of the ball in the visitors' half, but coach Mwinyi Kuuza's charges could not create clear-cut chances.

FOOTBALL Kenyan international Vincent Harper on target as Exeter City share spoils in League One
Kenya’s Vincent Harper helped rescue a point for his English League One side Exeter City after scoring a good goal in the early minutes of their match against Fleetwood Town.
Coach Jonathan McKisntry's side grew into the match gradually, but they were limited to long-range shots. Denmark came close to scoring when Masoud Omari 's fine strike from a free-kick shaved the top of the net.
The best chance of the first half fell for Chris Ochieng, but the K’Ogalo striker failed to beat goalkeeper Don from close range and the score was 0-0 during the halftime break.

STARS ABROAD Wanyama remains an unused substitute in FC Montreal’s opening match against Kibunguchy, Salim’s Orlando City
Wanyama and Kenyan-born Somali defender Abdi Salim were unused substituted during the match, while NabI Kibunguchy was left out of the matchday squad.
Gor Mahia were the better start after the restart with Kevin Juma forcing Don into a save before the goalkeeper gathered a dangerous curling cross from Bryson Wangai.
The visitors were forced to make a change due to the tough playing surface, which resulted in Emery Bayisenge being stretchered off with an injury, with Sidney Wahongo coming in as a replacement.
Denmak’s ability to carve out chances, as they did in the first half, dried up in the second, with Gor Mahia closing the space between their lines and allowing their opponents less time on the ball.

STARS ABROAD Michael Olunga set to make highly-awaited league return for Al Duhail
Qatar Stars League champions Al Duhail will be relieved to have Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga back to competitive action when they host Al Arabi on Sunday
The hosts themselves looked to offer a different challenge to K’Ogalo when they introduced the likes of Mwinyi in midfield and Babu in attack, but they also struggled to find a way past the defence.
Denmak did have one notable heart-stopping moment at the back when a mix-up almost gifted Gor Mahia an opening in the 80th minute, but Chaine recovered well to clear the danger.
