There is no love lost between Gor Mahia and Esperance as the two sides clash in today’s (6pm) highly anticipated return leg tie of the CAF Champions League, at the Stade Olympique Rades, Tunisia.

The rivalry between the clubs dates back to 1987 when the 16 time Kenyan Premier League champions clinched the Confederations Cup previously known as the Africa Cup Winners’ Cup after forcing a 1-1 home draw, a few weeks after holding the North Africans to a 2-2 stalemate.
