Sony Sugar then went on the defensive for the rest of the match, placing their hopes on a penalty shoot-out win after 90 minutes. However, goals from Chamberi and Wycliffe Nyangech were not enough to save the Awendo side from defeat, as David Owino scored the winning penalty for Gor Mahia after Odette and Ben Barasa missed their penalties.

Paul Were's attack forced goalkeeper Jerim Onyango to lose the ball, but the skipper saved the second shot and conceded the first corner. Gor Mahia then responded a few minutes later through a surging run by Dan Sserunkuma, but did not find enough time to take a shot on goal. Going into the 20th minute, both sides had good chances to go ahead, with Leopards' Charles Okwemba and Gor Mahia's Sserunkuma and Innocent Mutiso all putting their shots wide. Abdallah Juma could have gotten the lead for Leopards in the 28th minute, but had his free kick well saved by Onyango. Arguably the best chance for A.F.C. Leopards came in the 38th minute after Augustine Etemesi's cross from the right wing found Wanga, whose shot rolled just inches wide under considerable pressure. On the other end, Anthony Akumu almost headed Gor Mahia into the lead from a corner taken by Mutiso, but the cross was quickly punched away by Martin Musalia in the last minute of the half.GOtv Shield Final at HT: No goals yet http://www.futaa.com/football/article/gotv-shield-final-at-ht-no-goals-yet Wilson Mathu Futaa.com 17 November 2013 17 November 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20131119092748/http://www.futaa.com/football/article/gotv-shield-final-at-ht-no-goals-yet 19 November 2013 dead GOtv Shield: AFC Leopards are 2013 Champions http://www.futaa.com/football/article/gotv-shield-afc-leopards-are-2013-champions Wilson Mathu Futaa.com 17 November 2013 17 November 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20131119084505/http://www.futaa.com/football/article/gotv-shield-afc-leopards-are-2013-champions 2013-11-19 dead AFC Leopards beat Gor to win GOTV Shield Cup https://www.michezoafrika.com/fkf-cup/afc-leopards-beat-gor-to-win-gotv-shield-cup/14842 MichezoAfrika.com 17 November 2013 17 November 2013 Second half At the beginning of the second half, Sserunkuma had a good chance to score for Gor Mahia, but had his low driven shot easily collected by Musalia. Leopards then capitalised on Gor Mahia's exposed defence, when Noah Wafula made a run down the right wing and received the ball to set up Peter Opiyo, who put his shot away in the 52nd minute. Just 5 minutes later, Gor Mahia would have gone down by 2 goals, but captain Onyango was equal to the task when Juma got a shot on goal after being released on a surging run by Allan Wanga. Musalia could have cost his side the equaliser in the 65th minute after fumbling the ball. However, Musa Mohammed's attack was well dealt with by Etemesi. 10 minutes later on the other end, Wafula had run down the right wing once again but instead of setting up Wanga, who was waiting inside the box, he sent his shot well wide and gave Gor Mahia a goal kick. In the dying minutes of the game, both sides had good chances to score. Paul Kiongera, who replaced Akumu in the 68th minute, had a shot hit the side netting, while Oscar Kadenge, who replaced Were much earlier in the 55th minute, had a weak shot easily picked up by Onyango in the 88th minute. Sserunkuma, who was heavily marked by Leopards defenders throughout the course of the second half, nearly took Gor Mahia's last chance of the game, but had his low shot picked up by Musalia in the second minute of added time.
