Football fans may have wasted their sweet time shouting themselves hoarse in support of Gor Mahia when they faced Morocco’s RS Berkane in Kasarani recently.

The Nairobian has established that the game may have been given away by disgruntled players — in protest. It has emerged that as K’Ogalo players stepped onto the turf in their historic Caf Confederation Cup tie against a well-oiled Berkane side on that hot Sunday afternoon, deep in their hearts lay doubts. It was like walking into a heated war zone without a riffle.
