Title chasing Gor Mahia were held to a frustrating barren draw by Wazito FC in a Football Kenya Federation Premier League match played at Muhoroni Stadium on Sunday. An hour to the match, chaos broke out with police officers firing several rounds of teargas to disperse a crowed that wanted to gain free entry into the stadium. Call off the Wazito FC vs Gor Mahia match. This is just not it.#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/hfRrdNLf6H— Ole Teya (@TeyaKevin) May 7, 2023 Gor Mahia who are gunning for a record 20th title were hoping to keep their four-point gap at the top, but could not break a solid Wazito who thwarted their every move.Omala, the leading top scorer with 25 goals, for the second match on the bounce failed to sparkle, missing countless scoring opportunities. 🟢 | FULL TIME FT: Wazito 0 – 0 Gor Mahia We pick a point in today’s assignment against Wazito in Muhoroni. #Sirkal | #GorFansClub pic.twitter.com/eGGJbXhXei— GOR MAHIA FANS CLUB (@OfficialGMFC) May 7, 2023 Boniface Omondi was the first to test Wazito FC keeper, but his shot from a corner kick was blocked in the 16th minute. His effort gave way for Omala whose shot four minutes later was equally dealt with. Omala was at it again at the half hour mark with a connecting header from Austin Odhiambo free kick, but the ball sailed wide.Sensing the opponent’s dominance in the mid, K’Ogalo coach Johnathan McKinstry pulled out Austin for a more combative Alpha Onyango in the 35th minute, but still the hosts remained resolute.##NAJAVA_MECA_7234406##Wazito made a penalty claim in the 40th minute, however, the referee looked the other way. David Odada closed the half with a well taken strike which forced Gad Mathews to a full stretch.Two early attempts by Omala in the second half were thwarted by Wazito keeper Thomas Muthomi, while on the other end Stephen Bulere’s 47th minute strike went wide.The exchanges were mostly reduced to long balls with Gor Mahia pumping them forward with Omala and new substitution Patrick Kaddu larking in the box, yet, the much needed goals were not coming.With Tusker FC, K’Ogalo’s closest challengers edging out Kakamega Homeboyz FC 1-0, the lead at the top has been sliced to just two points.
