Past Incidents in the Mashemeji Derby
The Gusii Stadium incident saw scores injured as Shabana and Gor Mahia fans clashed in a chaos-infested match.
The incident has raised concern in the conduct of high-risk fixtures such as the Mashemeji Derby, which has had its fair share of chaos in the past.
The tense fixture is poised to be Kasarani’s opener since its closure for renovations in 2023 after being earmarked for the 2024 African Nations Championship and the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
The uneventful first leg was held at the Nyayo Stadium on March 30, which ended in a barren draw with minimal fan confrontation.
