Gor Mahia 2 Djibouti Telecom 2
Gor Mahia ended their Cecafa Kagame Cup campaign with a 2-2 draw on Sunday evening against Djibouti’s Telecom at the Kigali Regional Stadium ,Nyamirambo on Sunday evening.
Playing for nothing but pride, Kogalo twice came from behind to salvage the point .
Telecom drew first blood via Aboubakar Djama in the 39th minute. In the second half Timothy Otieno who replaced Blackberry , leveled the score on 59 minute of play.
Telecom took the lead again in the 74th minute when Freddy Eninga Andashango scored from the penalty after Godfrey Walusimbi fouled him in the six yard area.
When it appeared that the match would end in a 2-1 in favour of Telecom, Musa Mohamed tapped in from a goal mouth melee to hand Gor a draw head of their return to Kenya on Monday.
Gor Mahia Line-up:
David Juma, Musa Mohammed , Walusimbi Godefrey(Yellow 73) , Shakava Haron , Bruno Charles , Onyango Daniel(Odhiambo Owino), Mburu Simon Mungai , Ochieng Eric , Serunkuma Mzee Dan, Ogutu George Odhiambo(Timothy Otieno 49), Kariuki Joseph Maina(Kizito Geoffrey 70)
In Summary
Gor Mahia thus ended their campaign with two points. A disappointing campaign it was considering that Gor Mahia last participated in this this tournament 18 years ago and had experienced a long drought.
“It was my worst tournament ever as a coach and one that I could want to forget as quickly as possible. We looked like a team that was not prepared for the tournament. All in all my lads have picked some positives from the competition and this should spur them on in upcoming tournaments.” said coach Williamson to goal.com
Nevertheless, the players will have learned some lessons and gained valuable experience and perhaps some big match temperament. The good news is that Gor Mahia is still in contention to retain the league title.

it’s good that we let everyone play in that tournament. The squad that played Telecom is literally the same one that was beaten by GFC 105. I believe the experience they got from there will help us retain the league. As a matter of urgency we need to seal our defence. It’s actually leaking
The boys did what they could but were not successful. Let’s leave to fight another day. Just come back home so that we defend the TPL title as this is real.
Good trial boys. Hope we work hard to retain the league
guys you are getting experience…you did your best but it was never good enough win the TPL and come back next year….. hii ni injili ya soccer.
Where is Emuge ? Where did he go ? What hapoened to him. His heigjt is needed and urgently in thr kpl !
Come back home guys and win the TPL. This is right within our control. Thanks to Ingwe for holding the brewers.
Lets now focus on retaining the kpl trophy
Great comments good people. Lets soldier on. Lets welcome the boys with jubilation as we tare off Sony on 24th.
It was nice seeing Bruno and the others play. Meanwhile, I have just looked at the league table and my assessment is simple, we win the next 3 matches (which include Tusker) and we shall begin to smell the title
WELLCOME BACK GOR MAHIA !!!! FORGET KIGALI SOME THINGS WERE SIMPLY NOT MEANT TO BE…CECAFA KAGAME CUP IS A LONG SHORT FOR SHOE STRING BUDGET CLUB LIKE KOGALLO.
BACK TO KENYA, THE MAJICAL 60 POINTS IS NOT FAR…..NOW SIMPLY STRING A RUN OF 4 UNBEATEN MATCHES IN THE KPL LEAGUE AND THE LEAGUE IS DONE AND DUSTED !!!!!
RETAINING THE LEAGUE IS TOP PRIORITY AND IT CAN BE ACHIEVED !!!! BEST OF LUCK
Welcome back boys.while you were aware on continental assignment;Tusker lost four pints(drew twice).Please exploit this opportunity and widen the gap.Our main focus now should be retaining the league title.We can achieve this,boys.Go for the title.
I watched AFC play Tusker and to be honest, I am glad we are through with AFC. As for Tusker, we should pray for at least a point. It will not be a bad thing to park the bus on that day.
Welcome back home we are still with you,that was was good inspite of the hard luck.
While you were away things happened around here,Tusker was made to wait not too far away, Ingwe did not gain anything,Sofa got stranded,Chemelil,KRA and other pretenders could not know what to do, so all of them kind of stagnated when you the Kings were away. Now take it.
We only need to win all the three games we have in hand and we open a seven point gap between us and tusker,from there its nyweeeeeee.And this time round the EC should organize to have the trophy paraded on an open bus like they do it in Europe.
Great,the journey to defend our title has just started
