Old boys Okello, Muguna shutter Gor Mahia’s unbeaten run

After an impressive streak of 19 games without a loss this season, Gor Mahia’s unbeaten run has met its match, succumbing 3-1 to Kenya Police FC in a tightly contested FKF Premier League match held at the law enforcers’ Police Sacco Stadium on a Saturday afternoon.Much talk before the game surrounded the decision of the law enforcers to increase ticket prices to up to KES 3,000, something that had not happened before in a Kenyan league match. Despite the hefty charges, the attendance at the stadium can be described as decent.##NAJAVA_MECA_7845151##Gor got off to a dream start when in-form Austin Odhiambo gave them a fifth-minute lead after connecting with a Shariff Musa assist. The new signing did all the work before passing the ball to the most consistent player in the league this season.Both teams had a couple of half-chances for the remainder of the first half, but they went unattended, and the first phase of the game ended in Gor Mahia’s favor.A minute before the hour mark, Police, who had improved significantly in the second half, drew level through winger Kenneth Muguna, and 15 minutes later, the turnaround was complete when former Gor striker Tito Okello, who has scored in every game since Salim Babu took over as head coach, gave Police the lead before completing his brace in stoppage time.At Sudi Stadium in Bungoma, substitute Dinken Mwema came off the bench to score an 80th-minute header, a goal that gifted Posta Rangers the three points against bottom-placed Nzoia Sugar FC.The defeat leaves Nzoia firmly at risk of being relegated this season as they sit at the bottom with a paltry 13 points after 20 rounds of league matches.At Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega, Kakamega Homeboyz’s winless run was extended to six games after playing out a 0-0 draw with Muhoroni Youth FC.
