Gor Mahia destroy Muhoroni Youth
Courtesy of supersport.com
Gor Mahia regained pole position in the Tusker Premier League in style with a 4-0 thrashing of Muhoroni Youth at City Stadium on Sunday.
Top scorer Dan Sserunkuma scored a hatrick as Mighty K’Ogalo responded to Leopards’ 4-2 victory over Mathare United on Saturday by producing their biggest win of the season infront of a partisan crowd.
It was Gor’s eighth win on the bounce and another victory against Thika United next Saturday will see the green army win their first title since 1995.
Sserunkuma gave Gor the perfect start with a goal inside the opening 45 seconds. The Ugandan latched onto a low cross from the right from Ali Abondo and gave it a deft touch to lift it above the Muho goalkeeper Joseck Gathongo for the opener.
Muhoroni Youth, with nothing much to play for, made forays forward with great composure but the final touch badly let them down as Gor defenders kept them at bay.
On 25 minutes the home side was caught on the wrong foot after Serunkuma picked a poor clearance and lobbed Gathongo from 25 yards with a screamer.
Gor returned in the second period re-energised and needed just four minutes to add a third to their day’s tally; Christopher Wekesa stayed forward to head home a Moses Odhiambo cross after a corner, beating an exposed Gathongo from close range.
With the lead intact, Gor seemed content to pass the ball around as they awaited the final whistle, but were almost made to pay when Collins Neto stole in on 68 minutes with a header that hit the post and sailed clear.
With six minutes to go, Gor surged forward again with Sserunkuma the key architect and after a fine string of passes where he cut in well to wrong foot Gregory Nyapala, then picked the far post for his third of the game and Gor Mahia’s fourth.
The win means Gor reclaim the top spot with 58 points after 29 matches while Muhoroni stay 14th with 27 after a similar number of matches.
Well done boys but let’s note that we are at the gate and that’s when one can easily slip. As was said let’s keep our feet on the ground and go let’s not forget O.G.A.T. It’s what has brought us this far
One Game at a Time …… we are almost there !
Thank you Lord !!
The bird is in the cage……lets be cool and calm as we wait for ‘dheka’ United wakuje Tok Komwanda so that we can finish off the ‘shughuli’ and be crowned Kings of The TPL 2012. As for our Shems…..the did well warming the Namba moja spot for us as we were to play after them na tumejibu mabao pia sisi bila kufungwa….. God bless Kogallo fraternity.

Abiro biro e pap miyo un lwedo.

It is not yet. Bado mapambano. Stil one game. And in foot ball anything can happen within 90 minutes. Let’s only pray to God for a win in this next game. May it be done acording to the will of God, not our will. I support @3 Jakamollo that we do smthing for our players after lifting this trophy.
KDF-KOGALO DEFENSE FORCES. Only 90mins remaining. Lets not loose 4cus. A party for the team is a must. The coach also deservs a big pat on the back. Congrats.
2 day NO comment.
sisemi kitu ila kumshukuru Mwenyezi Mungu!!
IT IS STILL A DOGS FIGHT RIGHT UP TO THE WIRE!
Congrats boys, that was breath taking football. Sounds like a miracle, this must remain as one of the comebacks of all time. We r just 90mins away from our 1st trophy in 17 years. And no one will stop us. Dani scored some spectacular goals today, can’t wait to watch the repeat of the match. And yes, let’s appreciate the boys with some bonuses. As always, am happy to contribute, just show me where to go.
All these wins will amount to nothing if the next game is not won. Keep your cool. Meanwhile, there’s need to sensitise the fans to ensure their are civil and controlled in their cellebrations. We dont want to hear of people getting treatment at so and so hospital or people packed at a certain motuary in the name of cellebrating a football win. Be careful guys!!!!
I return all glories, honours, praises and thanksgivings to our Almighty God for the victory He gave us over Muhoroni in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour Amen.
Fellow bloggers, it the Almighty God that has taken us this far and this confirms that our Lord is able God the will always listens to our prayers.
Lets exercise caution.We haven’t won it just yet!The prayer is that the boys prepare well for Thika,then we turn out in large numbers on Saturday and cheer them to victory!!!

its not over until its over,One Match At a Time
The last deciding game will be the most delicate,crucial and difficult. The players will have to be at their best. Taking the Title as a closed chapter may bring a lot of regrets. Let us hope for the best.
Congrats boys! That was a nice display and a Great result. One more game and we are champions.
They say a picture is worth one thousand words. What message were the boys conveying with the way they celebrated the second goa? The punishment they had in store for Muhoroni?
It is disappointing that Muhoroni did not put up a brave fight. Their minds were clouded with the millions they were going to rake in. But they learnt their lesson and will never dare play around with the Mighty Gor Mahia.
Something to woryy about: was that Sserunkumma’s 5th yellow card? Hope not because we need him in the NEXT MATCH. With us we only want to win the next match.
Muhoroni Youth were made to “know people”. @Barefoot Bandit, I share with you the worry. Let us hope it was the 4th Yellow.
For God and my club – Kogallo
@sofaset branch kampala welcome back to the blog pls i know akamba bus went under recievership but that cant be an excuse of not witnessing the final game at Tok komwanda live sitted next to mwakio and barefoot bandit. This is a historic occasion as we will go 1 more time winners than ingwe and all en sundry
1 game to go and we have the title…nothing but prayers!
Many thanks to ALL for your much needed prayer and let keep on praying for the team as with prayer we shall win the TPL.
As we inch closer to the TPL, lets also strategise for the FKF Cup. To muhoroni coach the kogallo you encontered yesterday is not the same as you encountered during the first leg. God continue seeing us through to the last game
We should not stop praying for our k,ogalo and GOD should be with us all the time, with GOD all things are possible.
AM SMELLING SOMETHING ……………………
@Barefoot Bandit, i concure with you on your comment but the football rule on yellowcard is, if you pick five yellow cards in five consecutive matches then you miss one game and if you pick ten accumulative yellow cards within a season then that is like a red card. So im not sure if Dany fall in any of those brackets. Anyway i was realy happy yesterday and i know ill be much happier on Sarto.
Congrags Boys.
Capital G,i think i also remember seeing the’yello card rule’,somewhere.So @barefoot bandit and@albert kosero,relax majmaa.Danny will be there to help kogallo win,an unprecedented 13th league tittle as he also himself picks his golden boots.
Can u recall when Afc was 23 points and Gor were 7 points?we av come from far.thanks boyz.
All the leading newspapers here in diaspora have reported about Dani Serunkuma’s hatrick. They are wondering what their national team coach looks for in a player. They cannot understand why Dani is not in the Cranes team. He would have made a difference for them against Zambia. One paper is asking in its sport commentary page, whether it is the size that Coach Williamson looks for. It goes a head to remind him that Dani and Messi are almost the same size.
@Akuot oyugi, do not be surprised to see me seated next to Ogango Trailer on Saturday. Apostle Mwakio, sala ziendelee.
For God and my beloved club – Kogallo.
Well done boys, the team work paid but Dan deserves a special place. He will overtake Baraza for the golden boot come Saturday. How comes we still dont have a nick name for this star? What about a song in praise of Loga? TM can you please clarify on the yellow cards issue. Otherwise my octopus tells me the cup is for GM coz on 10th: Tusky 0 CS 1, Efusi 2 Chemelil 2,GM Sirkal 2 Thika 1.
As we celebrate we should remember that the shopping season is almost here. What is the status of our players contracts?
We lost our favourite son last season to Ingwe. We lost Blackberry the season before to Randers. Watu wa ofisi, please help us retain all our top talents this time. If not, we should collect serious money from their transfers. Tusker made 4.2 million from the sale of Brian Mandela to a second tier team (Santos) in South Africa.
We are still not able to compete with top African teams in terms of cash and we all saw the Sofapaka coach abandoning them after a few matches. Whatever deals made should be above board and of good value and not like Blackberry’s.
PRAYERS PRAYERS PRAYERS!!!!
MWENYEZI MUNGU TWAOMBA UREHEMU VIJANA WA KOGALO NA UIPE TIMU KUBWA USHINDI!
Special Tribute to Zdvarko Logarusic.
While his technical/coaching skills are much appreciated I would like to salute Head Coach Logarusic for his very exceptional administrative skills which has contributed in a large part to Mighty K’galo being in this enviable position of almost lifting the 2012 TPL League.I will mention but a few measures taken by Mr.Log that have not only put K’galo at the top but also saved our club quite a bit of money.
1.Reducing the playing unit to a manageable abt 25 players instead of the expensive 35 squad.
2.K’galo has topped the table and won the top 8 cup without the expensive residential training. Efusi camped for 2 weeks b4 our last match.
3.Keeping the players united and the EC off the playing unit.EVERY PLAYER NOW KNOWS ITS AN HONOUR TO PUT THE K’GALO JERSEY
4.Appreciating the role of FANS in the club.HE RIGHTLY REFERS TO K’GALO AS A BIG TEAM COZ OF THE FANS.
Finally I also salute the Sir Bob and the rest of the technical bench,the playing unit and we the FANS as we await to lift the trophy and then as Coach Log starts strategising for CECAFA, continental soccer. Expect big things/surpises.
ITS THE DIE HARD FANS WHO HAVE MADE GOR MAHIA WHO THEY ARE TODAY…….I REMEMBER WHEN GOR MAHIA WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TABLE, THE FANS STILL KEPT COMING TO THE STADIUM, STONE THROWERS WERE AT THEIR ALL TIME BEST, BLOGGERS TRADED INSULTS AND FRUSTRATIONS AMONGST EACH OTHER AND NOW ?……ITS FUNNY WE ARE ALL SMILING AND JUST 90 MINS AWAY FROM THE FAMOUS DOUBLE OR IS IT TREBLE !!!!!
The final match becomes more tricky since we will be too curious and under pressure. Let us remain calm and get this trophy. If we play attacking football like we did yesterday then we will have it easy and ‘those’ AFC fans will again say ‘mmepewa mechi’. We played so well then so many opposing fans are saying ‘we bought Muhoroni’. I believe we are unstoppable.
As The bible says ask and u shall be given ,knock and it shall be opened.Our heavenly father i ask 4 win for my team kogalo father open the doors of heaven 4 us and all thanks will be yours i pray sho in jese7us name
THIS IS SO GOOD GOD BLESS US WE ARE HAPPY WITH WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR LORD THANK FOR ALL AND KINDLY GRANT US MORE
It is all about God who has taken us this far. Let us return glory and honour to where it is due in Jesus Christ mighty name. It is God that has given us all these victories.
Finally we are praying to the Almighty God to give us victory over Thika United come Saturday 10 November 2012 in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour….Amen
We will return all the Glory, Honour, Praises and Thanksgivings to our Almighty and loving God in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.
Let all the bloggers say AMEN and AMEN.
AMEN….
Just read that we have a brand new branch. The Footbridge branch. And they are fully equiped with their vuvuzelas,havea ‘divas’ section and even pay the kanjo guys for ‘entry’. The good thing is that there your entry fee is ‘measured’ to what fraction of the field you see. That aside I fear for the safety and health/life of these branch members. It’s a disaster in waiting as we all know what happens when a platoon of soldeirs march across a bridge in rhythm. That is what is bound to happen as they celebrate a goal. I think as Gor we are not ready to lose any more of our fans as they/we celebrate. I believe we will win on Sato (God has been with us all through these journey after we overcame the initial temptations and I’m sure HE will continue with us for the next 2 (or 3) matches (FKF Cup included)) I therefore ask our fans to avoid invading the game after the final whistle and let the players/tech bench, DStv carry out with the formalities before we can join them. Otherwise at times we mess a good thing by not being patient enough. Of late we have been of best behaviour and it’s paying off.
AMEN !
@Dan thanks for that observation. I share the same fear about the Footbridge branch and I have a very bad feeling about Saturday. There is this strange misfortune that sneaks into K’Ogalo’s high profile matches. Somebody should do something about this branch come early Saturday. I however, disagree SG George Bwana and the FKF official Asembo about the way forward.
Those people donnot require forceful ejection. Gor Mahia being the home team should post GSU personnel to the bridge early enough before the branch members take their positions OR apprehend them peacefully and then heard them into the stadium and release them to watch the match free. That way they may learn and develop the culture of paying in future.
EC please give ear to Creative Village’s concern. Tie our players to contracts that will make them hard to buy. Some of our neighbours realy don’t mean well for our key players. Do not ignore this matter.
My heart is ripped apart with joy so overwhelming simply because of where we were at the beginning and where we are today.To the Team,always remember as our chant is ” One Game At a Time” and top it up with disciple.You will be respected as a team and as a Person.To the supporters let us come and fill that stadium with pomp, song and dance.Let us show people how to support and celebrate good things.I hope yawuot tuon are coming from Uganda.
Installing a big screen TV outside Tok KOmwanda on the Kaloleni side would solve this problem of the bridge branch. And it would be free advertising for whoever does it.
Joka nyanam? Kindly humle ourselves before GOD for this title. Our coach deserves praise and honour. ANd throgh that, we need to do something to him. With me i’ve offered him my Wife. May God belss Gor and Obama for the vitory.
That’s a good point by OT, and the big screens should also be in motherland kibera where we also have a big fan base of kogalo who can’t make it to the stadium on-time
For those who were worried that Danny might be a victim of the five yellow card disease that has hurt Gor it’s been confirmed that he is not one of those banned. That means that he has an opportunity to bag the golden boot and maybe the best player.
That’s good news green soldiers let’s turn-up in large numbers to give the green army boys morale
It will be fine.
The trophy shall be K’ogalo’s
We will celebrate
We will all be happy
I don’t think risking life should be encouraged in this country to the extent that even when guys have a choice to chose between cheap and affordable with safety we still have to cry aloud for them to think.
To me it goes like this:
Its expensive to acquire the DSTV Decorder buit its affordable to pay 50 or 100 in a hall or Hotel to watch K’ogalo.
It costs averagely 350bob to make it to the terraces in the Stadia (200 gate fees nad 150bus fare)making it expensive to watch from the VIP than the terraces.
It costs more to attend live game using a taxi than PSV hence we chose which means to uae to the stadia.
It may also cost as low as 20 bob to watch K’ogalo in an estate hall.
Bothers and sisters lets be straight and sincere, we cannot continue supporting unnecessary risks thenafter associate it with bad luck or such.
GM management must come out strongly, condemn this nonsense and drive out these pretenders.
Perfectly done our “sirikal”. lets beat the gap.
@Kassam that’s on point!
I agree Kassam 100%
so good more prayers pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
WITH GOD ON KOGALO’S SIDE WE SHALL SURELY WIN THIS TITLE
AMEN.
