Gor Mahia claimed the inaugural Green Legacy Cup against newly promoted Migori Youth with a 4-3 penalty victory on Sunday after a 2-2 draw at Nyayo National Stadium. The match, organized as a charity fixture, aimed to raise funds for food security, climate-smart agriculture, and environmental conservation. Migori Youth, playing their first competitive game against top-flight opposition since their promotion, took an early lead through Dennis Oguta and Philemon Nyakwaka.
Gor Mahia, missing several key players to injury, suffered a setback before the match started but fought back, fielding a debut for Potiphar Odhiambo and a first start for Ebenezer Ocran. The sides battled to a deadlock before extra time, with neither team conceding in the shootout until the final moments. Gor Mahia's 4-3 win provides a boost as they gear up for upcoming matches, including a trip to Eldoret to face Great Rift FC and a CAF Champions League qualifying tie against Egyptian side Pyramids FC.
