Paul Okoth scored the decisive goal as the Kenyan side produced a disciplined and professional performance to secure the three points in Kigali.
The win confirmed Gor Mahia’s progression from the group stage, placing them ahead of Vipers SC of Uganda and APR FC of Rwanda. The result marks a successful group campaign for the Kenyan giants, who now turn their attention to the knockout rounds of the regional tournament.
Garde Républicaine, already eliminated, were unable to break down a well-organised Gor Mahia defence as the Kenyan team controlled key periods of the match and capitalised on their opportunities.
The victory keeps Gor Mahia’s hopes of lifting the CECAFA Kagame Cup alive and provides further momentum as they prepare for the semi-finals.
