Gor Mahia steam train gathers pace after pummeling Posta Rangers

Defending champions Gor Mahia sent yet another clear statement of intent to retain the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) after flooring Posta Rangers 3-0 at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos.K’Ogalo belatedly launched their title defense slightly over two weeks ago, due to continental engagements, with a 4-0 win over league returnees Mathare United.The long break was deemed as an unwelcome distraction, in their quest to gain momentum and catch up with the high-flying KCB, but Gor demonstrated their class with the comfortable win over Rangers.##NAJAVA_MECA_8424492##So good have Gor been in the opening two matches that they have the second-best goal difference, after KCB, despite playing half of the matches the Bankers have.K’Ogalo also find themselves in the top six bracket and could scale up more in the event that the Leonardo Neiva-coached side bags points from the matches in hand.Against Posta, utility player Bryson Wangai gave Gor the lead in the 14th minute with last season’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) Austin Odhiambo doubling the advantage in the 38th minute.10-man KCB come from behind to pile more misery on Kakamega HomeboyzCongolese import Gedeon Bendeka put the tie beyond the reach of Posta after finding the back of the net in the 87th minute.Both Odhiambo and Bendeka were on target in the league opener against the 2008 league champions, Mathare United. While Gor are on to a good start, Posta will be disappointed with the inconsistencies experienced early in the campaign. Kenyan international and Manchester United target pens new deal in SwedenThe mailmen opened the season with a 1-1 draw against Bandari before losing the subsequent game 3-0 to log leaders, KCB. They beat AFC Leopards 1-0 in the third game but did not play the fourth game of the season against Shabana after it was postponed due to the unavailability of referees.
