Kakamega Homeboyz beat Nzoia Sugar 2-0 to set up a final date with defending champions AFC Leopards in the second edition of Elijah Lidonde Super Cup at Bukhungu Stadium on Saturday.

Patrick Odhiambo’s men got their goals through Stephen Opoku (50th) and Vincent Ogola (73rd).

Homeboyz will thus be seeking to avenge their recent 2-0 defeat to AFC in the FKF Premier League.

AFC defeated National Super League (NSL) side Mulembe United 1-0 in the first match at the same venue.

Nzoia will face Mulembe in third place playoff tomorrow 12:00pm before paving way for the final at 3:00pm, EAT.

The winner of Sunday's final will walk home with Sh1 million in prize money together with a trophy, while the first runner-up will receive Sh500,000.

The third and fourth-placed teams will be awarded Sh250,000 and Sh200,000 respectively.

The tournament is being held in honor of the late Elijah Lidonde, who captained both Abaluhya (AFC Leopards) and Harambee Stars between 1950 and 1961 before passing away in September 1987.
