📋 Breaking It Down

Tusker FC made a massive statement of intent ahead of the 2026/2027 league season by thrashing reigning league champions Gor Mahia 3-1 to win the FKF Super Cup at Nyayo Stadium on Sunday.

Goals from Francis Oduor, Eugene Ikutwa and Ian Simiyu’s diving header completely outclassed Gor Mahia in the annual curtain-raiser. This dominant display provided Tusker with an invaluable confidence boost ahead of the new season.

This emphatic victory handed head coach Julien Mette his first piece of silverware of the season and shattered Gor Mahia’s psychological advantage.

Tusker goalkeeper Dinka Derrauuld goes for the ball as Gor Mahia's Ben Stanley advances during their Football Kenya Federation Super Cup match on at Nyayo National Stadium on August 23, 2026. Tusker won 3-1.

It also proves that Tusker has the clinical edge and depth to dethrone the champions and reclaim the league title they last won in the 2021/22 season.

This victory is all the more significant given Tusker’s disappointing campaign at the Cecafa Kagame Cup earlier this month. The Brewers were eliminated at the group stage after losing 1–0 to Rayon Sports and 2–0 to Al Hilal Omdurman.

Beating Gor Mahia has renewed Tusker’s hope that they can mount a serious challenge for the title.

Tusker strengthened their squad significantly during the transfer window, which closed on August 21. The club signed Nigerian striker Victor Mbaoma and Djiboutian defender Hassan Warsama on one-year deals.

Their French coach, Mette, also brought in Congolese goalkeeper Perrauld Ndinga, defender John Otieno, winger Alvin Mang’eni, and Gambian striker Abdoulie Joof. All of these players started against Gor Mahia on Sunday.
