Goalkeeper Gad Mathews saved two penalties as Gor Mahia edged out AFC Leopards 4-1 on penalties to win the 2021 Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Cup in a tight final played behind closed doors at Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi on Sunday.

After a 0-0 draw in regular time, the match proceeded to penalties without extra time where former Kisumu All Stars keeper Mathews saved Said Tsuma and captain Isaac Kipyegon penalties to hand Gor the advantage with Washington Munene scoring Ingwe’s sole penalty.
