The Zanzibar Heroes select team advanced to the final of the 2025 Mapinduzi Cup in dramatic fashion on Friday following a 1-0 victory over Kenya. The hosts scored from a corner kick in second half stoppage time to move past the Harambee Stars on the table and set up a date in Monday's final with guest team Burkina Faso.
The hosts advance to the final of the exhibition tournament on Monday after a controversial match at Gombani Stadium on Pemba Island. Kenya were reduced to ten men in the second half when Harambee Stars captain Aboud Omar was given a second yellow card for dissent after he received one for an initial yellow card offense.
With Zanzibar needing a victory to move into second place and clinch their spot in the final, the hosts pushed and finally made their breakthrough in stoppage time. A corner kick from Azam FC star Feisal Salum found Aly Khatib "Inzaghi" whose bouncing header found its way into the goal to spark wild celebrations and end Kenya's participation in stunning fashion.
