Nairobi Star (Nairobi) Francis Wadegu 13 June 2011 Sofapaka's brave safari in the merciless jungles of continental football came to a cruel end yesterday when they were knocked out 4-3 on aggregate by Club Africain despite beating the Tunisians 3-1 at the Nyayo National Stadium. A task that looked improbable after the 3-0 first leg loss in Tunisia took an impossible turn in the 22nd minute when dangerman Ezekiel Ndouasale put Africain ahead.

It has emerged that Ayew brothers Rahim, Andre and Jordan chartered a flight from to Kumasi to support his father’s second-tier side qualify to final of the MTN FA Cup.

Nania FC caused an upset by eliminating new Ghana Premier League Berekum Chelsea 5-3 on penalties with both teams tied 2-2 after extra-time.

The trio, former players of Nania FC, was at the Baba Yara Stadium to motivate the club for a historic berth.

“I am so happy that they all came to watch the game which they promised to do. They were really determined to see this semi-final because they know that it was history in the making and they had to be part of it,” Abedi Pele who coached the side told Citi FM.

He added that: “On their way coming from Accra, Antrak was cancelled around One O’clock so they had to find their way to Kumasi and they had to charter a jet to Kumasi to attend this particular match. I embrace that decision and I thank them very much for being in Kumasi to support the (Nania) boys.”

Nania FC will play the winner of the semi final match between Asante Kotoko and either Medeama SC or Sporting Mirren in the final.
