Gor Mahia gaffer Johnathan McKinstry has hailed Kariobangi Sharks as the team that plays the “most short-passing football in the league.”Still, K’Ogalo managed to whip them 2-0 in a Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) match played at the Kasarani Stadium on Sunday.Tusker thump Sofapaka to pile pressure on Gor Mahia”They cause you tactical problems that a lot of other teams in the league don’t cause you,” the 37-year-old Irishman said.Gor Mahia scored in each half through Ugandan and former Sharks winger Peter Lwasa and on form offensive midfielder Austine Odhiambo.Yet, the flattering score line notwithstanding, the Slum Boys came at K’Ogalo hammer and tongs with their sweet passing football in the opening exchanges, leaving them chasing shadows.##NAJAVA_MECA_7162600##”It was an extremely difficult game,” McKinstry admitted. “I think what they’re doing over at Sharks is really impressive, their passing-move football is really good,” he added.Again, the league’s leading top scorer with 19 goals Benson Omala did not score in a second successive match, but McKinstry is not worried about his young striker, saying that it’s about “team effort.””Benson will be the first to tell you that if he’s not scoring then he’ll happily play a supporting role so long as the team wins,” McKinstry, who previously coached Uganda Cranes, said.WPL: Race to title hots up as top dogs, Gaspo and Vihiga secure easy winsOmala can rest easy as the chasing pack in the race for the golden boot didn’t see the back of the net either. Police FC’s striker Elvis Rupia, the second leading scorer with 14 goals did not score as the law enforcers were held to a barren draw by AFC Leopards at Nyayo Stadium.The win ensured Gor Mahia kept a healthy four-point gap between them at second placed Tusker FC, who beat Sofapaka by a similar 2-0 margin at their Ruaraka Grounds backyard.The Brewers have played a game less and any slip up by K’Ogalo could see their lead cut to zilch.
