Gor Mahia chairman Ambrose Rachier is concerned with the team’s performance following a shock exit from the Mozzart Bet Cup on Sunday.K’Ogalo, who are the record winners of the domestic cup with 11 titles and the defending FKF Premier League champions, embarrassingly lost 5-4 on penalties to little-known Denmak FC in Ukunda, Mombasa.##NAJAVA_MECA_7899462##The FKF Regional League side put up a brave fight, holding a much-changed Gor Mahia side to a barren draw, sending the match into straight penalties.“I’m very concerned, and I’m particularly concerned about yesterday’s performance in Ukunda because you don’t expect a village team to beat FKF Premier League champions.They’re not even in the National Super League (NSL). Granted football is football, but when I see unexpected results like that, I must get concerned,” Rachier told Mozzart Sport.Migori Youth to hire ex-Kenya international Okoth as head coachIt is the second time under coach Johnathan McKinstry that K’Ogalo have failed to progress in the oldest knockout tournament in the country. The club was tossed out by eventual winners Kakamega Homeboyz FC in the same round of 32 in last season’s campaign.“I believe it was only yesterday that they (Denmark FC) got their registration cards from FKF; they were completely unregistered players, and for them to outplay us in the first half and eventually eliminate us on penalties is a very disappointing result,” Rachier added.Rachier is equally bothered that, despite the fact that Gor Mahia is topping the league table, they struggle to score goals.“I’m also concerned that even in the matches we’re winning, although we’re leading, we’re among the least scorers; we hardly score more than one goal, Why?” He questioned.The fact that the team, in its recent games, has struggled in the second half also did not escape Rachier’s attention. “Is it a matter of fitness or tactics?” He further probed.Mozzart Bet Cup: AFC Leopards to face Shabana as round 16 pairings are revealed
