Kenyan heavyweights duo of Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards powered their way into the quarter-finals of the FKF Cup after winning their respective matches on Sunday, June 6. 

The Kenyan giants have kept alive their hopes of winning the double this season after cruising in the domestic cup. 

K'ogalo made it to the quarter finals after a 2-1 win against lower division side Mara Sugar with striker Tito Okello and midfielder Kenneth Muguna netting in the two goals in 24th and 56th minutes and they will now face Kariobangi Sharks who won on penalties in their duel against KCB. 

On the other hand, Ingwe were forced to come from a goal down to beat Bungoma Superstars 4-2 in a high-scoring fixture. 

Goals from defender Robinson Kamura, Isaac Kipyegon, Collins Shichenge, and Elvis Rupia were enough for Ingwe  to advance to the quarters after suffering an earlier scare at Ruaraka grounds. 

Meanwhile, Bandari remained on course to defend the trophy after they thrashed Sigalagala FC 5-0 in a one-sided Round of 16 fixture at Utalii grounds. 

Bandari scored their goals through Benjamin Mirimi in the 4th and 46th minutes, as Wilberforce Lugogo netted in the 20th minute, Guelord Mwamba in the 51st minute and Cleophas Oluoch in the 90th minute. 

Nairobi City Stars also progressed to the last eight following a 2-0 win against Ulinzi Stars at Ruaraka grounds. 

It was former Gor Mahia striker Nicholas Kipkirui who put Simba Wa Nairobi ahead in the 32nd minute before David Agesa made it 2-0 in the 59th minute to see them sail into the last eight of the FKF Shield Cup.
