Gor Mahia head coach Johnathan McKinstry has relayed his team’s disappointment in not being able to pick maximum points on Wednesday following their 2-2 draw against a rejuvenated Nzoia Sugar.Having travelled away to the daunting Sudi Stadium, Gor Mahia’s quest of becoming the first team to win at the sugar miller’s home ground this season was twice rebuffed as Austine Odhiambo and Benson Omala’s strikes were cancelled by Ian Karani and the retuning James Kibande to see K’Ogalo’s four point advantage at the top of the table reduced to only two after KCB won.🟢 | MATCH HIGHLIGHTS Watch all the goals in yesterday’s match against Nzioa Sugar in Bungoma.Nzoia Sugar 2 – 2 Gor Mahia #Sirkal #GorFansClub pic.twitter.com/Hr1ludHshz— GOR FANS CLUB (@OfficialGMFC) March 9, 2023 With the result, the Northern Irish tactician was left downcast but at least found some encouragement in his side managing to avoid defeat at the tricky grounds.“I thought it was a game we could have won. Even at the end, Boniface Omondi had a great chance and maybe should have at least hit the target today but equally we did not lose it.Nzoia have not lost a single game here this season so we come away a little bit disappointed that we maybe did not take the three points.##NAJAVA_MECA_7079989##Even then, I think it was sort of 60-40% because it was not the sense that we deserved the three points but when you are playing your nearest rivals in the league and in an away game, the most key thing is maintaining that gap,” the head coach said afterwards.Additionally, the coach lamented over the state of the Sudi Stadium football pitch which he stated did not help his side play to their strengths and ideas.Harambee Stars coach says Victor Wanyama not ready for international comeback“This field is not the most conducive for total football and Nzoia really do well on it. So we had to come here and match them,” he said.With the draw, Gor have now not won in two consecutive games for the first time this season and will be hoping to get that record out of the way when they face Bidco United this weekend in Round 19.
