FKF Premier League side Bidco United secured their place in the 2025 Mozzart Bet Cup last 16 after narrowly edging past regional league side Far East at Embu Stadium on Sunday.After a goalless first half that saw the top-tier side miss a couple of chances up top, Bidco, who fielded their new goalkeeper Wycliffe Oduor, finally got one to go with little under 20 minutes left in the tie.It all came through Far East’s own piece of misfortune, as their defender handled the ball inside the box after 71 minutes, giving substitute Eric Michubu a chance to step up and steal the win, which he duly did, while giving the opposition keeper no chance to keep the effort out.
