Gor Biro, Yawne Yo (translating to Gor is coming, clear the way) is a song on the lips of every Gor Mahia fan after the club humbled Bandari 2-0 to move to three points within reach of the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) summit. The record league champions had been often ignored in the title talks in the current season, owing to their poor start, inconsistent performances, and change of coaches, among other factors.However, the league giants appear to have stabilized under Croatian head coach Sinisa Mihic, as they have closed in on the duo of Kenya Police FC and 12-time champions Tusker FC. The win over Bandari was crucial in their resolve to catch up with the two teams, given that a loss of points would have left a significant dent in their title hopes. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8779943##After the referee blasted the final whistle at Dandora Stadium, every Gor fan, even those who never believed it, had reasons to back the team in the hunt for the 22nd title.
