The midfield battle was intense, with each team fighting tooth and nail for control.The first half saw a goal from Ajax’s Chris Tobee after beating his man beautifully and finding the bottom corner. Chris’s goal was canceled by a beautifully struck equalizer from Telena Ochieng. Minutes after netting the equalizer, McMillan found the net, but the referee did not allow the goal, judging the goal-scorer to have been in an offside position.Nevin Ochieng netted the first penalty for McMillan, with his teammate Omondi beating Ajax’s goalkeeper. McMillan missed their third penalty, but this did not deter Samuel from scoring the winning penalty to seal McMillan’s victory over Ajax FC. McMillan goalkeeper Leman Otenyo saved two penalties from Ajax’s Oscar and Musah; however, Sejo and Magure’s penalty goals were not enough to help Ajax win the Amos Mwago Super Cup.Ayunga scores as St. Mirren bag win over AberdeenStarehe Member of Parliament, Honourable Amos Mwago, however, promised to hold such events to support sports in his constituency.”I thank the residents of Starehe Constituency for turning out in large numbers for the inaugural Amos Mwago Super Cup.
