New signing Patrick Kaddu was on the spot with a heat-trick as Gor Mahia beat Vihiga Unites 5-0 in the Football Kenya FKF Premier League match played at the Moi International Sports Center Kasarani on Wednesday afternoon.
Kaddu, who was making his first appearance for the club’s side scored in the 52nd, 54th, and 82nd minutes.
The match started off with K’Ogalo dominating the field with high-class ball possession but there was no clear chance of a goal yet. However, a 20th-minute score by Austin Odhiambo through a free kick placed Gor Mahia in the lead.
K’Ogalo did not give Vihiga Bullets ample time to digest the first goal as Peter Lwasa doubled the score as he thumped the ball to the back of the net in the 25th minute. The 28th minute almost saw Vihiga Bullets secure their first win but the Jonathan McKinstry boys put up a good fight and denied the score.
In the 37th minute, Vihiga also charged up and put up a good attack but the final cutback came as an easy pick for Sylvester Owino in the box.
The second half begins with a campaign from Kaddu in the 47th minute but his first attempt hits rock bottom. The Ugandan then charges up and scores in the 54th minute through a corner cross delivered by Odhiambo. His 54th-minute brace from Kaddu also secures K’Ogalo a score.
In the 82nd minute, the Ugandan again stunned the masses by pulling off a classy score to end the game 5-0.
Meanwhile, the match between Tusker FC and Bidco United saw the brewers secure a 3-1 win to take them to second place behind leaders Gor Mahia.
