Operation Linda Gap… that’s the talk on KPL street banter, and all-time champions Gor Mahia head to a Thursday clash against Posta Rangers.
Everything is set for the fifth, a game to be held at Nyayo National Stadium, and the message to the team is to keep up the pace and protect the lead at all costs.
If the February run is any indication, Thursday is expected to deliver one of the most spectacular football displays at Nyayo.
Built in 1983, the stadium has a capacity of 30,000, featuring natural grass, direct sunlight, and a waterfall that appears to shower from the sky – a truly remarkable place.
A six-point gap from arch-rivals AFC Leopards will be the main focus over the 90-plus minutes. Akonnor, the former Ghana star and the undisputed Gor Mahia head coach, needs to roll up his sleeves, set the best lineup, and produce results.
The drums will beat with Taya Dok and Jaro Soja teams energizing K’Ogalo drums from both sides. The new hit, ‘K’Ogalo Nyamriri’ (Son of Ogalo chewing), and “Woyi moro aneno koting’o BAO biro,” which literally means “I have seen a certain lad carrying a goal,” will be the chants echoing through the stadium in the capital.
It will be electric, and the outcome should strengthen the table lead even further.
Will it be 52 points or more? Fans are eagerly waiting.
