FKF Cup: Semifinals will be an all-top-flight affair

The Mozzart Bet Cup quarterfinals wrapped up in style this weekend with defending champions Nairobi United among those teams that failed to progress to the last four of the knockout competition.

This year’s semifinals will be an all-top-flight affair as Tusker FC, Bandari FC, KCB FC, and Kenya Police FC are the four teams still standing, and each had to earn it the hard way.

Police edge out Shabana

Police FC got things underway on Saturday with a narrow but hard-fought 1-0 win over Shabana FC. It wasn’t a flashy performance, but it was effective. The difference came from Abud Omar, who’s beautifully taken free-kick proved enough to separate the sides.

The goal that took us through to the Semis; a 93rd minute dagger.

Police had to stay disciplined to see out the result, and they did just that showing the kind of control and composure that wins knockout matches. Omar’s performance rightfully earned him Man of the Match honors.

Bandari dismissed Mfalme FC

If the first match was tight, the second was anything but. Bandari were given a real test by Division One side Mfalme FC in a game that had a bit of everything. The Dockers took the lead, but Mfalme—who have been one of the stories of this year’s competition—refused to go away.

They equalised, fell behind again, and still found a way to respond. By halftime, it was 3-2 in Bandari’s favor, but the match still felt very much alive.

In the end, Bandari showed their quality to pull away and seal a 5-2 victory. Amza Moubarack was the standout performer on the day, delivering a Man of the Match display by scoring four goals hence playing a key role in helping the Dockers overcome a stubborn and spirited Mfalme side.

The Division One outfit may be out, but they’ve certainly left their mark on this year’s competition.

Tusker gun down Ulinzi Stars

Sunday’s action at Ulinzi Complex brought even more drama. The Brewers started brightly and went ahead in the 24th minute through Eric Kapaito. Ulinzi Stars, however, responded just before the break, with Staphord Odhiambo leveling things at 1-1.

The game stayed finely balanced for most of the second half, and it looked like it might head into penalties. But deep into stoppage time in the 92nd minute Ibrahim Joshua stepped up. Coming off the bench, he found the back of the net and sent Tusker through in dramatic fashion.

KCB eliminate champions

In the final quarterfinal match, KCB FC quietly got the job done.

Up against defending champions Nairobi United, KCB kept things tight and took their chance when it came, securing a 1-0 win. It wasn’t a high-scoring affair, but in knockout football, results are all that matter and KCB did exactly what they needed to do.

Semifinal fixtures;
