Tusker may achieve a double of league and cup wins for the first time since 2016.
Tusker head coach Robert Matano insists his side are taking it a game at a time after sealing a place in the final of the Mozzart Bet Cup final after beating Ulinzi Stars 1-0 in a match played at the Nyayo National Stadium on Saturday.
The Brewers needed a 90th minute winner from Eric Otieno to book a date against Kakamega Homeboyz in the final of the FKF Cup in a few weeks’ time.
They have the rare chance to get a double for the first time since 2016, but Matano is choosing not to count his chickens.
“It’s good. Let us wait and see if we can do both but for now, we are still taking it game by game. The rest will come when we reach there.”
