Gor Mahia thrashed Kisumu All Stars 3-0 to go back on top of the table in a Kenyan Premier League (KPL) match played at the Moi Stadium in Kisumu on Sunday.
Goals by Nicholas Kipkirui, captain Kenneth Muguna and Bernard Ondiek in the 46th, 60th and 63rd minutes respectively ensured the defending champions pick maximum points.
In other league matches, Ulinzi Stars hammered Zoo 4-0 at Afraha Stadium in Nakuru while AFC Leopards thumped Mathare United 3-0 in Mumias.
An excited Gor coach Steve Polack applauded his charges for the win.
“I am glad to have picked the points away because we never anticipated a win because we haven’t been training regularly,” he said.
A disappointed All Stars coach Henry Omino blamed miscommunication for his side’s loss.
“We employed our initial plan to win the match and controlled it during the first half, but lost it at the beginning of the second half all because of confusion,” said an irritated Omino.
With the win, Gor Mahia dislodged Tusker from the top of the log on a superior goal difference as they are both tied with 28 points although K’Ogalo still have three matches at hand.
After a goalless first half, Nicholas Kipkirui capitalised on goal mouth melee to net the opener a minute after the breather, heading in Muguna’s corner.
Muguna doubled the lead in 59th minute with Bernard Ondiek finishing the job in the 63rd minute with a cool finish from close range.

@DO that’s the spirit.
Congrats to the team.
Congratulations team kogallo
Happy to see Kipkirui regain his form
Good work boys despite the challenges we still soldier on..God bless Gor mahia
Congratulations gor mahia where has our friend Albert kosero disappeared to
Johnny, Albert Kosero is very busy in the GMAF Advisory Council as a think tank. We recently requested him to hunt down Teddy Sofaset and Francis Akwar Diang’ Muola from their hideouts. It remains a mystery why GMAF has sent so many brilliant and vocal minds into hiding.
GMAF needs every one whose blood is Gor to join it.The members of GMAF are spread all over the country and they believe that watching Gor play in stadia just a part of support but main thing is to get those boys what to eat. GMAF members pay for gate even if they don’t attend the game and the money is forewarded in the A/c to be handed to players at appropriate time. There is no hero in supporting Kogalo but Kogalo is a hero with support. We, Dance, drink and allllll sort of fanatic acts. But do we know what these boys eat? GMAF has the feeling for the club but not jalous of the other well wishers of the club but envious of Barcelona that has used the model coupled by GMAF to socceed
@BB, I left WhatsApp group due to people like Johnny thinking that they own GMAF after registering and contributing Kshs.2000. I am gone and I do not think I will rejoin again.
