Kakamega Homeboyz chairman Cleophas Shimanyula has urged AFC Leopards fans to carry painkillers with them when the two sides clash in the semi-finals of the Mozzart Bet FKF Cup on Saturday.

The two Western rivals will square off again in the Ingo derby at Nyayo Stadium with the winner sailing through to the final of the domestic competition.

Ahead of the fixture, Shimanyula has stated his young side will prove to Kenyans why they are the best ahead of AFC and went further to ask all Ingwe fans to stock painkillers and blood pressure drugs because “we will teach them a lesson they will never forget.”

“AFC Leopards must be ready for a beating, they must get prepared to lose and nothing is going to stop us [Homeboyz] from beating them,” Shimanyula told Africa Top Sports.

“My only worry, for now, is for AFC fans, if you know you suffer from pressure related issues please take your medicine before coming to the stadium, and they should also carry painkillers to consume after the game, it will be a total massacre that they will regret to watch.”

Shimanyula further said the domestic Cup fixture will bring to an end the debate of who is the best between Homeboyz and AFC Leopards.

“By the end of Saturday, we will know who between Homeboyz and AFC is the best, we will beat them in front of their fans, and we will show them how to play football, I want their fans to come in large numbers and witness their team losing,” added Shimanyula.

“I am happy the game will be played at Nyayo Stadium, which is a good venue with a nice playing surface for my boys to show them [AFC] how to play football, our focus is to win the trophy, we want to beat AFC and win in the final.”

Homeboyz defeated Kariobangi Sharks 6-1 in the quarter-finals to reach the last four while AFC thumped Bandari 3-0 to sail through. The other semi-final clash will pit Tusker against Ulinzi Stars.
