Gor Mahia were unable to take advantage of Posta Rangers’ slip as Kenya Police held them to a 0-0 draw in a less-than-enticing encounter played at the Kasarani Stadium on Sunday afternoon. There was nothing much to write about the first half, with both sides struggling to create chances in each other ‘s half. Kenya Police’s Francis Kahata had one opportunity just before the break, but it went wide of the post. Gor Mahia’s first two opportunities to score came in the 58th minute of the match when Geoffrey Ochieng’s shot from distance landed straight on the palms of Patrick…

Twenty-time Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) champions Gor Mahia are in the spotlight not for their championship streak but for the intense competition among their goalkeepers. Kevin Omondi has been a revelation for the defending champions this season having started in seven games, the statistics are already leaning in his favor. Omondi’s journey from Sofapaka to Gor Mahia has been commendable, and the recent commendation from McKinstry only solidifies his position. “Kevin now has five clean sheets this season. It’s a significant progression from his time at Sofapaka to his current position,” McKinstry expressed, showcasing his confidence in the goalkeeper.…
Gor Mahia head coach Johnathan McKinstry has explained why they struggled to find a way past Shabana after they narrowly beat 10-man Tore Bobe in an FKFPL match played at the Kasarani Stadium on Wednesday afternoon. Shabana adopted a more cautious approach against Gor Mahia after being made to atone for their mistake of playing aggressively against Ulinzi Stars on Sunday, which made him suffer a heavy 4-0 defeat to the Soldiers. McKinstry has asked his charges to be patient as teams will be looking to nick points off the champions by setting up in a low block and forcing games to…
Gor Mahia took full advantage of a debatable red card to beat 10-man Shabana FC 1-0 in a Football Kenya Federation Premier League match played at Moi International Sports Centre Kasarani on Wednesday afternoon. Shabana FC stand-in coach Oscar Kambona made several changes to the team that had lost to Ulinzi Stars in their previous match played on Sunday. Despite his subpar performance against the soldiers, Isaac Otieno retained his place in the starting line-up. Meanwhile, the instrumental captain, Peter Ogechi, was absent due to an injury, but the rest of the players kept their positions. Okoth’s counterpart, Johnathan Mckinstry…
Johnathan McKinstry’s decision to rotate the Gor Mahia squad with one eye on the Shabana FC clash cost him dear as Bidco United held firm to force a barren draw in an FKFPL encounter played at the Kasarani Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Benson Omala had a chance to make it his eighth goal of the season when Lawrence Juma set him through on goal, but the 22-year-old hitman hit the ball wide. Moments later, Kevin Juma had a chance to score himself from a set piece routine, but his left-footed shot from just outside the area sailed just wide of…
