Gor Mahia head coach Johnathan McKinstry has backed his team to put their best foot forward on Sunday afternoon when they face Kakamega Homeboyz at the Bukhungu Stadium in a Mozzart Bet Cup round of 16 tie.Having been boosted by the lifting of their FIFA transfer embargo that saw them register eight new players, McKinstry has confidently revealed that Gor, who are the defending champions, will be determined to get the job done unlike before where they would have sacrificed the cup for league glory.NEXT MATCH: KAKAMEGA HOMEBOYZ VS GOR MAHIA FC⏰ 1 : 00pm (EAT)🏟️ BUKHUNGU STADIUM🏆 MOZZARTBET CUP@SportPesa @johnnymckinstry #Kogalo #Mayienga #Sirkal #ChuorTimbe #SportpesaNaGor pic.twitter.com/0e6laLlfpo— Gor Mahia FC Ke (@gormahiafcke) March 31, 2023 “We go there with full focus on the cup. Had we maybe only had 18 players like in the first leg, we might have had to sacrifice a little bit in pursuit of the league but now that we have brought in fresh legs we can go sort of full throttle to try and go through to the next round,” he told Mozzart Sport.However, the coach was quick to call on his charges to anticipate a tough challenge when they go hunting in Kakamega knowing very well the host will present a very stern challenge in the Mozzart Bet facilitated competition.##NAJAVA_MECA_7142321##“We have been out to Kakamega already and got a fantastic 0-1 win in the league but it was really tough game. We know going out there to Kakamega is going to be really tough. It is the Mozzart Bet Cup who sponsor them as well so they will want to go deeper into the tournament which makes it even harder,” he noted.Homeboyz, managed to advance to the next round after defeating Division Two outfit Shalimar 3-4 on post-match penalties following a barren draw in extra time.Emery Bayisenge chuffed with Gor Mahia debutGor on the other hand squeezed a 0-1 victory against Division One side Kibera Soccer.The match will kick off at 1300EAT on Sunday.🚨 FIXTURE UPDATE🚨The Kasarani Annex Double Header will now be played at Nyayo StadiumMuranga Seal vs AFC Leopards will now be played at MISC Kasarani#MozzartBetCup pic.twitter.com/OHsSv27MI2— Mozzart Bet Cup (@FKFCup) March 31, 2023
