The atmosphere is electric as Gor Mahia prepares to face arch-rivals AFC Leopards in the highly anticipated Mashemeji Derby, scheduled for Sunday, 7th July 2025, at the iconic Nyayo National Stadium.
Midfield maestro Enock Morrison, who recently survived a career-threatening accident on Ngong Road, has emerged as a symbol of resilience and determination within the K’Ogalo squad. Speaking ahead of the clash, Morrison exuded confidence in his team’s ability to secure all three points.
“We are going to bring the three points. As you said, this game is more like tactical play. Everybody is being cautious not to concede,” Morrison remarked. He emphasized the depth and experience Gor Mahia boasts in midfield, noting, “For us, I think we have good players in the middle and more experienced players in that position. So we are going to use that as an advantage and keep the ball, making sure we control the game.”
With the stakes higher than ever, Morrison believes that midfield dominance will be the deciding factor. “Anything that controls the game is going to take the three points. So we are looking forward to controlling the game in the midfield and winning the game.”
The Mashemeji Derby, renowned for its fierce rivalry and passionate fan bases, promises another unforgettable chapter in Kenyan football history. Both teams are expected to approach the fixture with tactical discipline, making for a closely contested encounter.
As anticipation builds, fans are eager to see if Morrison’s optimism translates into victory on the pitch.
