Kakamega Homeboyz are through to the quarterfinals of the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Cup after knocking out defending champions 1-0 in a round of 16 match played at the Bukhungu Stadium on Sunday.

Moses Mudavadi's deflected goal in the 57^th minute was enough for Homeboyz who sent the current FKF Premier League leaders packing in front of their fans.

The result sees Homeboyz join Ulinzi Stars, Tusker FC, Sofapaka and Kariobangi Sharks as the teams to have already made it through to the last eight of the tournament.

With the win, Kakamega Homeboyz have booked a date with Kariobangi Sharks in the quarterfinals.

Paul Odhiambo scored in the 10th minuts to send Sharks through to the next stage.
