The Ugandan international was pivotal more so in the lead up to the second goal as Rwanda international Jacques Tuyisenge bagged a brace.

Besides Tuyisenge, Gor Mahia’s other goal scorers were Nicholas Kipkirui and Denis Oliech.

The first half ended with both sides tied at 2-2 but the Kenyan side were better after the break.
