Stoppage-Time Heartbreak as Vipers SC Edge Gor Mahia to Reach CECAFA Semifinals
Kenya Premier League champions Gor Mahia recorded their first loss at the ongoing CECAFA Kagame Cup after falling to Vipers SC in their second match.
Gusto Mulongo’s stoppage time header was enough to earn Ugandan giants Viper SC 1-0 win over Gor Mahia in their Group A encounter of the Cecafa Club Championships at the Kigali Pele Stadium on Monday evening.
Vipers SC broke the deadlock in the 93rd minute to claim a dramatic late winner and secure automatic qualification for the semifinals.
Gor coach Charles Akonnor named a largely changed starting XI from the side that thrashed Rwanda’s APR 5-0 on Saturday night, bringing in Katasi for Byrne Omondi.
The Ghanaian also changed his frontline, handing a starting berth to new signing Hansel Ochieng’ in place of Paul Okoth, as well as Ebenezer Adukwaw and Ben Stanley Omondi on the wings.
Gor next face Djibouti’s FC Garde Républicaine in their final Group A match on Thursday, July 30, 2026.
