FKF Premier League leaders Gor Mahia for the second time this season got the better of their arch-rivals AFC Leopards with a gritty 1-0 win on what turned out to be a dramatic soggy Sunday afternoon at the Nyayo National Stadium.The defending league champions, who were forced to play with 10 men after goalkeeper Kevin Omondi was sent to the showers late in the first half, got their only goal of the game through Austin Odhiambo at the half-hour mark.Beautiful scenes.#FootballKE pic.twitter.com/Q1M0Ypumq5— Ole Teya (@TeyaKevin) April 21, 2024 The former Leopards player accompanied teammate Benson Omala for a press against keeper Levis Opiyo as he tried to build play from behind, cornering him to a high profile gaffe as his clearance rebounded off Odhiambo and into the net.The hosts, despite playing with a man advantage for majority of the game, were left to rue a missed chance to break into the top six, falling flat in a second half they dominate but couldn’t get a way past substitute keeper Caleb Otieno.Ulinzi Starlets, Kibera Soccer Ladies, Kenya Police Bullets reach FKF Women’s Cup semifinalsThe win for Gor Mahia takes their lead at the summit to nine points, and will definitely look at this win – over their rivals and engineered through pure grit – as one that took them one step closer to their 21st crown.More to follow…
