Police FC cruise past Ethiopian Coffee in CAF Confederations Cup

Kenya Police FC advanced to the next round of Confederation cup after humbling Ethiopian Coffee with a 1-0 victory, in a pulsating clash staged at Abebe Bikila Stadium on Sunday.

The first leg in Nairobi last week ended in a barren stalemate, but Police were perfect in executing their plan to gun down their opponents in Addis Ababa, despite enjoying support by home fans.

Police FC Executive Chairman, SAIG Nyale Munga, lauded the squad for the feat, adding that the team is on course to make history. 

"The squad is playing exemplary well, and all that remains is a key focus on our finishing; the African glory is within our reach,” said Nyale.

Police FC will now face off with Egyptian Giants Zamalek in the next round of the African Confederation Cup set to be staged in Egypt.

Head Coach Antony Kimani will be counting on a potent attacking squad of Clinton Kinanga, Francis Kahata, and goal scorer Toha Rashid in efforts to silence the African giants.

"We will now strategize afresh for the next game; we have what it takes for major honours," said Kimani.

Meanwhile, Police Bullets, who are also in Ethiopia, will face off with Tanzania's Simba Queens on Monday August 26 in the semi-finals clash of the CAF Women League qualifiers.

The winner of the clash will face off with the winner between CBE WFC and Kawempe Muslim in the final, at the Abebe Bikila Stadium on August 29, 2024.

Police Bullets FC who are playing in the competition for the first time will be wary of predictable dark horses at the championship, eyeing to cement their legacy.
