Gor Mahia coach Charles Akonnor believes the ongoing Cecafa Kagame Cup has given his side the perfect platform to prepare for the upcoming CAF Champions League qualifiers after K’Ogalo booked a place in the tournament final.

The Kenyan champions will face Rwanda’s Rayon Sports in tomorrow’s final at Amahoro Stadium in Kigali after surviving a tense semi-final against the Sudanese giants Al Hilal.

Gor Mahia needed penalties to seal their place in the final after a thrilling 1-1 draw that stretched into extra time. K’Ogalo held their nerve to win the shootout 8-7 and move within one victory of ending a 40-year wait for the regional title.
