“What happened is a thing of the past”: Omala on failed move to Algeria

Gor Mahia’s lead striker Benson Omala says the trouble surrounding his failed move to JS Saoura of Algeria is now behind him, and he is focused on giving his best to Gor Mahia as they seek to defend their league title this campaign.The attacker was set to join Saoura a fortnight ago on a six-month loan deal, only for the deal to fall through at the last minute.##NAJAVA_MECA_7881218##The failure of the deal caused a storm on the local football scene, and Gor Mahia chairman Ambrose Rachier had to publicly absolve the club of any blame. Every party refused to take blame for the failure of the deal, but in the end, the player remained with Gor Mahia.On Saturday, Omala returned to Gor Mahia’s starting XI and scored the all-important goal as they beat Nairobi City Stars 1-0 at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos.FKFPL: Gor Mahia dominance continues with win over City StarsThe goal was his first in the last seven games and came as a relief for the striker who continues to lead the scorers’ chart with 10 goals to his name.Asked about how he felt about the failed move to Algeria, the former Western Stima FC man was quick to downplay the whole issue, saying he is fully focused on winning the league with K’Ogalo.”What happened is a thing of the past now, and I’m focused on scoring and winning the league with Gor Mahia. I don’t need to mourn forever because my transfer failed, but to work hard and get an even better deal in the future,” he told the Daily Nation.On his prolonged goal drought that was raising eyebrows, the player said that the matter never at any point got into his head.”Even in the games I didn’t score, I gave my best and will always do that. That is the situation now, and I’m very happy to have scored again. My aim is to continue with this momentum,” he added.FKFPL: Ingwe drop first points this year in drab affair as Makwata saves SharksFKF PREMIER LEAGUE – WEEK 22SaturdayPosta Rangers – Ulinzi Stars 1-0 (1-0)/F.
