Tusker To Play Sfaxien While Gor Get Congo Trip For Confederation Cup

Kenya Premier League champions Tusker FC have been drawn against Tunisian side CS Sfaxien in the play-off round of the CAF Confederation Cup.

The brewers will kick-start at home with the first leg matches scheduled for November 26-28.

Tusker dropped to the CAF Confederation Cup after losing 5-0 on aggregate to Egyptian giants Zamalek SC in the second preliminary round of the Champions League.

"It is a tough draw but we will definitely give our all to get good results. We have learnt a lot from both matches against Zamalek and we have seen what we need to do and what we need to improve.

"The game will come at a time when we will have picked some necessary match fitness and also the cohesion in the team will be better in terms of understanding and playing as a unit," Tusker coach Robert Matano stated.

Meanwhile, FKF Cup champions Gor Mahia will head to Congo to battle it out against AS Otoho d’Oyo.

Gor progressed to this round after earning a second leg walkover against Sudanese side Al Ahli Merowe, after they failed to honor their commitment for the second leg.

Gor won the first leg 3-1 in Suez and were due for the second leg last Sunday in Nairobi.
