FOOTBALL ‘Juju kanaiva kuiva’ – Tusker jibe AFC Leopards' Aussems following controversial comments

The Brewers made reference to 'Juju' statements made by Ingwe's coach after the midweek showdown.

Tusker FC have taken a swipe at AFC Leopards head coach Patrick Aussems following his 'Juju' comment on Robert Matano.

After their highly-charged Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) midweek clash at the Nyayo Stadium, Aussems and Matano engaged in a physical confrontation.

Thereafter, in a tweet, the former AC Leopards coach made a controversial comment on his Tusker counterpart, referring to Matano as a 'Juju' man who has no international experience.

As they intensified their preparations for the next match against Sofapaka, the Ruaraka-based club made a cheeky reference to 'Juju'.

"Ndio tumeingia kuivisha Djudju ya Kesho. Kanaiva kuiva [We are cooking up Juju for tomorrow. It is fast cooking]," Tusker captioned a video from their training session.

Despite the post-match controversial confrontation, the Brewers were all smiling following their stoppage-time winning goal against Ingwe.

Meanwhile, Sofapaka – after their hard-earned point against Gor Mahia in a goalless draw - will hope to stop the reigning champions as they strive to climb the table.

As the title race intensifies, Gor Mahia, after getting eliminated from the FKF Cup, are under pressure to ensure they emerge champions.

Tusker are hotly pursuing them, and KCB, as well as Nzoia Sugar, are also firmly in the race.

Leopards dropped to the fifth position after their loss to Matano’s charges, but still enjoy a rather big mathematical chance to win the league.
