Caf Confederation Cup: Gor Mahia facing ban and fine after attacking referee

Gor Mahia are facing a heavy fine and ban from Caf after they attacked the match referee following their exit from the Confederation Cup on Sunday.

The Kenyan champions were on the verge of qualifying for the group stage of the competition as they were leading 2-1 away against Napsa Stars of Zambia

In injury time, South African referee Lebalang Mokete awarded the home team a penalty which was converted by veteran striker Emmanuel Mayuka for a 2-2 draw, and thus the Zambians qualified 3-2 on aggregate having won the first leg 1-0 in Nairobi.

The penalty was awarded after Gor Mahia defender Geoffrey Ochieng tackled the advancing Jimmy Mukeya, and the decision angered the visiting side, whose players protested before it was taken.
