What is the saga between Sofapaka FC and Gor Mahia

I will not play in Kisumu again. Even if they want to take the points away from us, let them do it. My players were treated like dogs. It was an awful scene that I will never want to see with my eyes happening again.

The stewards started attacking my players even before the match had started. How do you expect players to give 100 percent on the pitch with such mistreatment? Furthermore, the stewards were armed with water mixed with pepper, and they used it to wash my player direct to their eyes.
