Gor Mahia settled for a 1-1 draw with Sofapaka as they continue to lose ground on log leaders Kakamega Homeboyz following the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) clash staged at the Danson Mwanyumba Stadium in Wundanyi.
K’Ogalo arrived into the clash brimming with confidence after their 2-1 win over Ulinzi Stars which thrust them back into the title race as they had one game in following their match against Vihiga Bullets which was abandoned after crowd trouble.
Batoto ba Mungu on the other hand have been blowing hot and cold this season as they have registered patchy results having won only two games in the last 11 games.
After both teams traded chances, Sofapaka broke the deadlock at the stroke of the half-hour mark when former Wazito FC midfielder Joe Waithera let loose of a thunderbolt that beat Gad Mathews in goal.
K’Ogalo responded well after going down and created a number of chances which went begging due to profligacy in front of the goal as Sofapaka went into the halftime break leading 1-0.
The record league champions picked up from where they left from in the second half as they continued to squander the chances that were falling to them with Peter Lwasa and Sando Yangayay the guilty party.
Andreas Spier charges finally found the back of the net in the 74th minute when Lwasa found the back of the net to restore parity for K’Ogalo.
Sofapaka held on for the 1-1 draw to extend their winless run to three games while Gor Mahia are now unbeaten in four games but continue to lose ground on log leaders Kakamega Homeboyz.
