AFC Leopards head coach Patrick Aussems is hoping that fans will fill the Moi International Sports Center Kasarani ahead of tomorrow’s Mashemeji Derby clash between Ingwe and their arch-rivals Gor Mahia.The two sides meet for the 94th Mashemeji Derby with both teams technically out of the title race, Gor however still has a mathematical chance of beating Tusker and Kakamega Homeboyz to the title although it also means that they will have to win all their remaining six matches and hope that the two teams falter.Back to the derby, the two teams face off with Ingwe hoping to end what has been a turbulent spell for them in the derby, they have not beaten Gor Mahia since March 2016 when Lamine Diallo came off the bench to score the sole goal for the then depleted Ingwe side for a shock win.UP NEXT#MashemejiDerby #Betsafe #OursForever #INGWE pic.twitter.com/zLiEHG1QGg— AFC Leopards (@AFCLeopards) May 7, 2022 The team under Aussems have been playing some good football and they will be hoping to end the bad spell on Sunday and also avenge the first leg defeat where they suffered a 1-0 defeat at Kasarani with the team technically struggling to raise a squad after a mass walkout of players and FIFA’s transfer embargo.The tactician understands the importance of the derby and he says that he wants to win it just as he wishes to win against other teams. He further challenged fans to show up in drones.”It is always the time to win a game, Gor Mahia or any other team, I don’t care who the opponent is. But I understand that this is a special game for a lot of people and I hope the stadium will be full for the game and I think is the right moment to have a football game between the biggest two clubs in Kenya, ” he stated.Meanwhile, Ingwe will be without defenders Tedian Esilaba and Kayci Odhiambo who are both injured. They will however be hoping to have Victor Omune who picked a small injury against KCB back.
