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…
Former Gor Mahia defender Sammy ‘Pamzo’ Omollo believes Benson Omala is being spurred by his constant omissions from the national team by Harambee Stars head coach Engin Firat. Omala has not been selected for Kenya’s last three friendly matches despite topping the scoring charts in the FKF Premier League.

Omala has, however,…
Gor Mahia head coach Johnathan McKinstry has opened up on the reason why Benson Omala does not get regularly called up for Harambee Stars despite taking his goal-scoring to another level under his stewardship. Omala leads the top-tier goalscoring charts with seven goals, with his headed volley against Tusker underpinning his ability to finish from all types of angles. However, he has been overlooked in the last two Harambee Stars squads after being given just 45 minutes on his debut against Mauritius, which has left fans, pundits and the media alike puzzled as to why he has not been given…
Gor Mahia coach Jonathan McKinstry feels his Tusker FC counterpart Robert Matano deserves to be given time by the club to turn their bad form around given his past record. McKinstry’s men beat Tusker 1-0 in a league clash on Sunday to leave Matano hanging onto his job following revelations from club chairman Charles Gacheru that he had to beat Gor or be dismissed. The brewers have had a poor start to the 2023-24 campaign, winning just two of their opening seven games, to leave them 12th on the table with eight points, but McKinstry thinks the veteran coach should…
