Kenya’s most decorated football club, Gor Mahia, produced a stunning comeback to defeat Murang’a Seal 3–2 in a pulsating FKF Premier League encounter at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani.

Those days are gone. The goalless draw against Shabana at Gusii Stadium was not an accident, nor was it an off day. It was a mirror held up to a club that has slowly drifted away from the principles that once made it great. Gor Mahia did not dominate, did not intimidate and did not look like a team chasing a title. They looked ordinary.…
