The following day, midfield enforcer and the engine of the team, Charles Otieno "Kabanze" (standing in the middle), "disappeared" from the camp, and signed for Kenya Breweries.
This jolted the entire team as the team's game plan was centred around him.

Coach, Len Julians had hoped to unleash a dream midfield diamond that included him alongside new signings, Abbas Khamis Magongo and George Onyango "Fundi".
That was not to be.
Without the "Engine", Kogalo lost in the final, to arch-rivals AFC Leopards.

On the day, Ingwe were dominant in midfield, with new signings Issa Suleiman and Moses Mulamba running the show.
