Austin Odhiambo’s setpiece curled the ball beyond the wall in the first half, beating keeper Brian Bwire for the game’s most important statistic. K’Ogalo now move to 43 points, 10 ahead of Nairobi City Stars. The Victory extends Gor Mahia’s unbeaten run to 19 matches.
Gor Mahia coach Johnathan McKinstry was happy with the team’s performance saying they still have to work hard in the remaining 15 matches “It was a tremendous performance from us and I’m frustrated we didn’t win 3-0 or 2-0. We extend our lead at the top and after 19 rounds, we still want to keep it going,” he said. McKinstry said the 84th minute incident when Gor defender Kennedy ‘Vidic’ Onyango handled the ball while on the ground was not a penalty. “The ball hit his hand and he was down bracing his hands against the grass. That was not a penalty and the rules are clear on this. It cannot be a penalty,” said McKinstry.
