Sidney Wahongo, Kenneth Muguna, Clifton Miheso and Sammy Onyango each converted their penalties to hand Gor the title which sees them qualify for the 2021-2022 CAF Confederation Cup.
Only a handful of spectators were allowed to grace the occasion at Nyayo as two of the most successful teams in the country battled it out for a chance for their first silverware of the campaign.
Muguna was named as the Most Valuable Player of the Tournament with Oyemba winning the best keeper award after keeping five clean sheets in the entire showpiece. While both players were present to collect their accolades, Bandari’s Benjamin Mosha, who emerged as the tournament’s best scorer with five goals was not there to pick his accolade.
