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 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. Â 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.
