Kariobangi Sharks edged out Gor Mahia by a solitary goal to win the 2018/19 Kenyan Premier League (KPL) Super Cup in an entertaining match played at the MISC Kasarani on Sunday 2nd December. 

Youngster Sidney Lokale, who had come in just after the breather, scored the all-important goal in the 52nd minute. Nixon Omondi picked him up with an incisive pass from the left flank and the former Nakuru AllStars striker tricked two Gor Mahia defenders before coolly slotting past Boniface Oluoch for the winner.

“We had a good tempo and worked hard for the win. Credit goes to the players, they badly wanted the win. This is very good for us as it sets the pace for what promises to be a tough season.” He said after the match.
