However the linesman Muyanga Khalid flagged the goal for offside despite there being no foul play.
According to FUFA, a report was received from the Referee’s Panel.

“It’s possible that if the goal was not canceled in the above circumstances, the results would have been different,” reads a decision in part.
“This being a knockout tournament, the cancellation of the goal eliminated the Club from the tournament.
“As a result, such extraordinary factors necesitate a decision to order the two clubs to replay the match.”

The game will be played at a later date which FUFA will be communicating at Njeru technical centre.
