Gor Mahia head coach Johnathan McKinstry has quickly shifted his focus to Wednesday’s league match against Sofapaka after bowing out of the Mozzart Bet Cup on Sunday afternoon.The cup holders went down 1-0 to Homeboyz at Bukhungu Stadium, a result that ended their dreams of lifting the trophy that they lifted in 2021. Moses Mudavadi scored the all-important goal of the game to help Homeboyz progress to the quarterfinals in their maiden season.##GALERIJA##It is a match that shows that Gor were far from the well-oiled machine that they have been in this campaign. The tactician’s decision to start Benson Omala and Patrick Kaddu upfront seems counterproductive, as they did not have many serious threats upfront and in the end bowed out of the FA Cup.The former Uganda Cranes coach has quickly moved on from the Cup heartache and says focus is on the league game against Batoto ba Mungu, where they will be seeking to stretch their lead at the helm of the FKF Premier League log.Mozzart Bet Cup: AFC Leopards to face Bandari as quarter-final pairings are revealed”We had a big chance, but Farouk Shikalo made a big save.
