Zoo FC coach Herman Iswekha has stated the referee contributed to Gor Mahia's winner in the 3-2 loss.
With the match seemingly headed for a draw, the hosts conceded a throw-in deep in their half and the defending champions managed to get the winning goal. The former AFC Leopards player says the officials denied his side a free-kick and it turned out to be a defining moment.
"In the build-up, my player was elbowed and I expected a free-kick in our favour but it did not come," Iswekha told Goal.
