FKF Shield Cup: Fatigued Gor Mahia toiled to beat Kariobangi Sharks – Vaz Pinto

The Portuguese tactician sings the praise of his players after they pulled off a superb win to reach the last four of the domestic cup

Gor Mahia coach Carlos Manuel Vaz Pinto has admitted fatigue has started to crop into his squad despite a 2-0 win against Kariobangi Sharks in the quarter-final of the FKF Shield Cup on Thursday.

K’Ogalo reached their first semi-final in eight years after goals in either half courtesy of Karim Nikiema and Sydney Ochieng enabled them to get past the former champions at Utalii grounds.

The Portuguese tactician, who is eyeing his first title since joining the reigning champions at the start of the current campaign, has told Goal he is very happy with the performance of his "fatigued" players despite playing nine matches in the last 24 days.
