Mighty Ajax FC on Wednesday thumped Continental Stars FC 5-4 on post-match penalty shootouts after regular time ended goalless in their mouth-watering semi-final match played at the Gunjur Nyamina Mini Stadium to cruise to the 2025\2026 Gunjur 'nawettan' knockout final.

Both sides were eager to beat each other in their last four clash to sail to the Gunjur knockout final.

Mighty Ajax FC could have opened the scores in the first half through striker Ebrima Barrow alias Costa from the penalty spot but his penalty was saved by goalkeeper Omar Touray alias Bro.

Continental Stars FC crafted some goal scoring opportunities but were wasteful in front of goal thus the match ended goalless.

This pushed the match into post-match penalty shootouts, which ended 5-4 in favour of Mighty Ajax FC.

The victory earns Mighty Ajax FC a spot in the Gunjur knockout final.

The defeat saw Continental Stars FC out of the Gunjur knockout.

The Gunjur Buckingham based-team will now shift their attention to their league quarter-final match against Red Stars FC.
