Record Kenyan champions Gor Mahia have became the latest Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Premier League side to sail through to the 2021 FKF Cup Round of 16 after thrashing Division One side Cusco 5-0 in a one sided match played at Ruaraka grounds.

South Sudanese imports Tito Okello and in-form midfielder John Macharia each scored a brace before substitute Joachim Oluoch sealed the win late in the final half.

The win saw K'Ogalo join Kariobangi Sharks, AFC Leopards, Ulinzi Stars, Bandari, Bidco United, Tusker, KCB and Nairobi City Stars in the round of 16 to be played this weekend.

The Premier League showdown at Wundanyi Stadium saw Ulinzi beat Sofapaka 2-0.

At Kinunga Stadium, Tusker beat Marafiki FC 4-1, with hosts Bandari sending Dimba Patriots packing after beating them 5-0.
