Gor Mahia 1-2 Everton RESULT: Wayne Rooney scores a stunner on his second debut as Kieran Dowell nets winner

Thanks for joining us for live coverage of Everton's 2-1 victory over Gor Mahia.

If you missed it earlier, here's a clip of Rooney's brilliant goal. Evertonians will be hoping to see more of the same next season. 

Dowell's superb strike earns Everton a win in their first pre-season friendly after Rooney had opened the scoring on his second debut with a wonderful, 30-yard finish.

An awful pass from Hewelt falls straight at the feet of a Gor Mahia attacker, but his shot is straight at the young goalkeeper and he saves easily. That was a big let-off.

Koeman's men look happy to keep hold of the ball and not take too many risks with time running out. They're almost there...

There's been a few subs and the injury to Calvert-Lewin, but I'm not sure how the referee has come up with that number. It's almost as if he wants an equaliser and a penalty shootout... 

Everton are still pressing for another goal. This time Mirallas picks the ball up on the left, cuts inside and shoots but his effort is blocked.

He hasn't had a huge amount to do, but Keane has look assured on his first appearance for Everton. The former Burnley man showed good awareness to poke the ball to safety just a moment ago, ensuring Everton go into the final minutes with their one-goal advantage intact. 

A lovely one-two between Dowell and Mirallas almost ends in a goal for the youngster, but his low shot is well saved. Everton are finishing the second half strongly here. 

And it's another stunner for Everton! This time Davies picks the ball up in the middle of the park and picks out his mate Dowell, who spins and unleashes a fierce, left-footed drive high into the net. Brilliant from the young winger. 

Mirallas looks like he's going to whip the ball into the box, but he opts to lay it into the path of Dowell who smacks the bar with a fine, left-footed strike from 20 yards. So unlucky. 

Mirallas drives towards the Gor Mahia box. He loses possession, but the ball is quickly given back to Gueye who picks out Davies on the edge of the box. The young midfielder has a go at goal but his effort is deflected wide for a corner. 

Calvert-Lewin is back on the pitch and seems to be moving fine. We've got just over 15 minutes to play, with a penalty shootout looming...

Calvert-Lewin is involved again, this time getting on the end of a cross from Dowell. His header rolls harmlessly wide, but he's left holding his ankle after landing awkwardly. Looks like Joe Williams might get a chance here. 

Calvert-Lewin wins the ball back and sets up Gueye, whose low strike is palmed wide. Moments later the Senegal star forces the goalkeeper into another save with a powerful shot before Calvert-Lewin has the ball stolen off his foot when he looked destined to score. This is much better from Everton. 

Good play from Calvert-Lewin, who steals the ball away from a defender and forces the goalkeeper into a low save with a left-footed strike. Gueye follows up but his close-range shot is somehow cleared off the line. 

Davies lifts a delightful ball into the area, Keane heads across goal and Calvert-Lewin nods it home but the linesman had his flag up for offside. Replays show that Keane was well onside, although Calvert-Lewin was offside when the initial ball was played. 

Koeman looks to have given his second-half team specific instructions to chase down their opponents and force them into errors. Lots of energy in Everton's play during the second period so far.

Besic is playing in a slightly unfamiliar role of central defence, but he seems to be relishing it so far, getting forward at every opportunity and trying to create from deep. He looks determined to impress Koeman after missing most of last season through injury. 

Goalkeeper Boniface Oluoch is replaced by Peter Odhiambo, while Timothy Otieno is also on.  

Young goalkeeper Hewelt is tested early on in the second half but he dives low to his left and keeps hold of the ball. It's been a bright start to the second half by both teams. 

Tom Davies has made a positive start, first bursting down the left and into the box before winning a corner, and then shooting over from distance. 

Starting XI: Hewelt, Pennington, Baines, Keane, Gueye, Besic, Mirallas, Barry, Calvert-Lewin, Davies, Dowell

That means no more Rooney, which is a shame. 

Everton go in level at the break after Rooney's stunning, long-range strike was cancelled out by Tuyisenge's powerful header.

The Kenyan side drive forward down the left again. The cross is too deep and moments later a shot is blasted well over the bar. Goalscorer Tuyisenge then has a low shot which is going wide, but Stekelenburg decides to save it anyway. 

Well that didn't last long. Gor Mahia won a corner and the outswinging delivery was met powerfully by Tuyisenge, who directed his header past Stekelenburg and into the top corner. Game on. 

What a goal! Rooney picks the ball up, takes a couple of touches to set himself and the curls a beautiful shot into the top corner from 30 yards, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance. What a way to reintroduce yourself - and it wasn't dissimilar to that goal against Arsenal. 

Gor Mahia work the ball into Everton's box but Connolly's sliding tackle stops a low shot testing Stekelenburg. 

Some more neat touches from Klaassen, who is filling the No 10 role as expected. The Dutchman has shown some good vision so far and is not afraid to press defenders. Meanwhile, Rooney has won a free-kick near the halfway line after a foul from behind. 

Good play from Klaassen gives Rooney a chance to dictate play. He attempts an ambitious pass to Kenny, but just asks too much of the young defender and Gor Mahia regain possession.

At the other end of the pitch Gor Mahia break quickly down the right before Lookman races back to clear the ball. 

No real chances of note for a few minutes, although Rooney did link well with Lookman a short while ago. The former Charlton winger almost poked the ball through to Lennon, but some desperate defending from Gor Mahia stopped Everton from creating a clear chance.

A man in a Manchester United shirt has just run on the pitch to give Rooney a cuddle, according to the commentators. We didn't get to see it, but apparently Wayne shared a quick embrace before the pitch invader was carted off by security.  

...but the referee isn't having any of it. The returning hero picks himself up off the turf and gets on with the game. 

Everton aren't having it all their own way against the Kenyan champions. Connolly has just been done for pace down the left but the delivery into the box was poor and Koeman's men can build from the back again. 

...but his delivery from 30 yards is too deep and the goalkeeper collects the ball with ease. Williams and Jagielka will hope for better than that this season.  

McCarthy attempts to play a one-two with Rooney, but the latter's pass is too heavy and finds Kenny wide on the right instead. The young full back hesitates before crossing and the chance is gone. 

A brief period of Everton possession is ended as Lookman fails to control a simple pass, letting it go out for a throw-in. The visitors are still trying to find their rhythm here. 

His future at Everton looks far from certain, but James McCarthy is chucking himself into challenges in the early stages here. His midfield partner, Morgan Schneiderlin, meanwhile, has just played a very poor pass and given away possession. 

Rooney looks keen to make an early impression. He almost finds himself with a shooting opportunity but the ball is cleared by Gor Mahia's defence. 

Unfortunately Everton's live stream of the game isn't working, which means our updates will be limited until it does...

We're underway in Tanzania...

Stekelenburg, Kenny, Williams, Jagielka, Connolly, Schneiderlin, McCarthy, Klaassen, Lennon, Lookman, Rooney

Subs: Hewelt, Baines, Keane, Davies, Mirallas, Pennington, Calvert-Lewin, Gueye, Barry, Besic, Dowell

We're under 10 minutes away from kick-off at the National Stadium and there looks to be a decent crowd in attendance to watch Rooney make his long-awaited Everton return. But can he crown it with a goal against the Kenyan champions? 

Everton winger Yannick Bolasie is eager to learn from the club's new 'world class' signing Wayne Rooney and is relishing the extra competition in the side after the club's recent transfer spree.

Former England captain Rooney, who is the record scorer for the national team, returned to Everton after 13 years with Manchester United and was manager Ronald Koeman's sixth signing in the current transfer window.

Winger Bolasie played just 15 matches for Everton last season after sustaining a knee injury in December and will miss the start of the next campaign but is keen to return to action and learn from the experienced England forward.

'There are some top quality players that have come in, especially Rooney, who is world class. He will bring a leader's mentality and it will be good to learn off him,' Democratic Republic of Congo international Bolasie said.

SIMON JONES: Gylfi Sigurdsson is hoping Everton and Swansea can reach agreement on his transfer after pulling out of his club's tour to USA.

Swansea say they have rejected a bid of £40million from Everton as they push for their £50million valuation though sources at Goodison Park say they have not yet made that bid.

The Iceland international is set on a move to Everton and told Swansea staff at their hotel on Thursday morning that he was not in the right frame of mind to travel on their tour while also saying goodbye to his teammates.

Ronald Koeman might not have all of his squad available just yet, but his first starting XI of pre-season has still thrown up some interesting choices.

Summer signing Michael Keane starts on the bench, with captain Phil Jagielka and Ashley Williams forming a central defensive partnership. Under 20 World Cup-winning duo Jonjoe Kenny and Callum Connolly play at right back and left back respectively.

Maarten Stekelenburg starts in goal after Joel Robles was left out of the travelling squad. Club record signing Jordan Pickford is still on holiday after playing for England's Under 21s at the recent European Championship.

James McCarthy, who has attracted interest from a number of Premier League clubs, starts in central midfield with Morgan Schneiderlin, while Klaassen occupies a more advanced position.

Lennon makes his return to action after overcoming a mental health issue. He is likely to start on the right flank, with Lookman on the left and Rooney central.

DANIEL MATTHEWS: Wayne Rooney and some of his Everton team-mates used the club's pre-season tour of Tanzania as an opportunity to immerse themselves in the culture of the East African nation.

Alongside Morgan Schneiderlin, Kevin Mirallas and youngster Jonjoe Kenny, the ex-England and Manchester United captain enjoyed a meeting with Maasai warriors.

Rooney presented the warriors with an Everton shirt as the players chatted and posed for photographs during their historic tour of the country.

As we suspected, Rooney starts for Everton in their first pre-season friendly after sealing a return to his boyhood club. 

The former Manchester United captain looks like he'll be playing as a lone striker, with support coming from summer signing Davy Klaassen, Aaron Lennon and Ademola Lookman.
