Ten-man Gor Mahia showed fight and grit to upstage sworn rivals AFC Leopards in a clash that took place at the Nyayo National Stadium on Sunday afternoon. A goal by Austin Odhiambo in the 29th minute was enough to separate both sides in a match that would be overshadowed by a couple of tempers flaring on a couple of occasions, including the very beginning of the match when stewards would clash just before kick off.

Gor Mahia striker Benson Omalla has his sights set firmly on victory in the upcoming Mashemeji derby against longstanding rivals AFC Leopards, to be held this Sunday, April 21 at Nyayo National Stadium. The 95th edition of Kenya’s most celebrated football rivalry promises an electrifying clash as the two top-flight giants come face to face once again.

However, that decision did not go down well with many fans who felt the Kenyatta Stadium does not have capacity to host the high-risk match…
Gor Mahia opened a nine-point lead at the top of the FKF Premier League table after coming from behind to beat basement side Nzoia Sugar 2-1 in Bungoma on Saturday 13, April. Just like their last meeting last December when K’Ogalo had to come from two goals down to secure a 2-2 draw, the champions were pegged back again at the Sudi Stadium when Nzoia took a 1-0 lead after 26 minutes.

Gor Mahia head coach Johnathan McKinstry is bullish that his charges will bounce back to winning ways when they take on relegation-threatened Nzoia Sugar in a crucial FKF Premier League fixture at Sudi Stadium on Saturday 13th 2024. The reigning champions saw their three-game winning run halted last weekend after battling to a 0-0 draw against a stubborn Kakamega Homeboyz, a result that cut their lead at the summit to eight points from 25 points. A win should have seen K’Ogalo open a 10-point gap but according to McKinstry, they will make amends against the Sugar Millers. “Anytime we play…
