Kenya representatives in the CAF Champions League Gor Mahia bundled out a stubborn US Bitam with a 4-2 win in the post match shootouts after a 0-1 outcome in the regular time in the second round of the preliminary CAF Champions League tie played on Sunday 16 February 2014 at the Gaston Peyrille Stadium, Gabon.
Tied 1-1 on aggregate, the game went straight to post match penalties where Gor emerged 3-1 winners to book a place in the first round.
Gor Mahia scored through Godfrey Walusimbi, Rama Salim, former Kakamega Homeboyz youngster Haron Shakava and Innocent Mutiso with man of the match Jerim Onyango saving Bitam’s penalty, the third in the match.
From the opening whistle, Bitam launched attack after another in order to restore parity with their efforts paying off in the 12th minute.
Yellow carded
Gor almost bagged an away goal but Jared Obwoge splashed an obvious chance in the 20th minute after US Bitam keeper had spilt the oncoming shot.
The Kenyan champions then had skipper Jerim Onyango to thank after the reigning goal keeper of the year saved a US Bitam spot kick at the half hour mark.
The match had for the break with Gor Mahia’s three players of Dan Sserunkuma, David Owino and Musa Mohammed already yellow carded.
Resumption
On resumption, Jared Obwoge thought to have given his side an away goal only to see his header tipped over the bar by Bitam keeper after ever impressing Godfrey Walusimbi’s cross from the flank.
Four minutes later, Eric Ochieng’ was pulled out for Shaban Kenga with Innocent Mutiso coming on for Daniel Onyango.
Sent off
In the 73rd minute, Team Manager Frank Ouna was sent off by centre referee, a few minutes later, David Calabar Owino received his matching orders for a second bookable offence in what was termed to be protesting to the centre referee.
The hosts were gifted another penalty in the 85th minute but an outstanding Jerim saved Gor blushes by blocking the spot kick.
Post match shootouts
With four minutes of added time, ten-men Gor Mahia could not allow Bitam’s threat hence sending the game to post match shootouts.
Gor Mahia lineup: Jerim Onyango (GK), Musa Mohammed, Godfrey Walusimbi, Haron Shakava, David Owino, Anthony Teddy Akumu, Eric Ochieng’, Daniel Onyango, Geoffrey Kizito, Dan Sserunkuma, Jared Obwoge.
Well done Kogalo for making us proud.
Thank you all who went to Gabon. You have done us proud. All Machinations to send us home failed. Looking forward to Esperance of Tunisia. A reminder of 1987. Chairman Rachier, Coach Bob we are behind you. Lead us to another Victory. I see the Great Mahia back. To all fans lets give our best. We have a great Team. Jerry Jagoal Erokamano. Three Penalities saved is phenomenal.
Good going guys – A HERO’S WELCOME AWAITS YOU AT JKIA !
GO GOR !
GO GOR !!
GO GOR !!!
Mit Mabor jothurwa. Kogalo natim nade.Esperance bring it on. Who is going with me to Tunisia
All you guys need to apologize ti jakoyo for his truthful update
Well done GOR!
Very impressive Jerry, its moving to know that you saved two penalties in normal time.
That’s a relief especially after AFC made it through. Jagoal well done your saving of penalties was a pleasant surprise & a first 4 u.
As usual some will celebrate as if we’ve achieved something great while in reality we’ve struggled 2 achieve something quite routine.
As already pointed our inability 2 score from open play has 2 be addressed. I foresee a difficult season, BW/TB yet 2 impress me.
Kudos 2 team 4 saving us the embrassment of a preliminary/minnows round exit.
EC joyriders mulijienjoyi
Congrats boys for the victory. My only worry and disappointment is Owino’s suspension
Thanks KO’gallo, but as has been said by ODUOR12, THE ISSUE of inability to score should be addresed in Gor, its not normal! Am happy that Obwoge was given a chance and the outcome was good. Let do so with Kopany as well.
@Baa you are the same Jakoyo impostor. Can you apologize to yourself?
Meanwhile congrats to the team, technical bench and executive committee for the sweet victory. May all the Glory, Honour and Praise together with Thanksgiving be given to our Almighty God in the holly name of Jesus Christ…..Amen.
Fellow bloggers stop usurping the technical bench duties. Let us give the technical bench time to deliver on their mandates. Why every after game, we bloggers are always there to poke our noses where we have no role at all.
Congrats to Gor Mahia and AFC leopards for making it to the next round of Championship and Confederation cup respectively!
If someone feels fit for the job, let them go for it and show us what they can do. It’s never an easy task winning home and away especially when playing a west African team so, for those who feel dissatisfied despite the good results all i can say is sorry… Perhaps you can couch better. Congratulation TB, BW, BO and the entire teams for the great work. God bless Gor Mahia and help some of us stop complaining.
Congrats boys but there must have been a problem…..how come danni was booked…thats quite suprising.
Then i want to agree with oduor12 alot of work needs to be done on the striking force….guys is there anything like strikers or goal scoring coach?
coz maybe we need one.
Congrats team. For the sofaset coaches please give us a break. Which player doesn’t want to score. Sooner or later we will start scoring and all will be happy. Does anyone remember that time we couldn’t score and when Ngwa broke the jinx he actually cried? And that yesr we were again runners up. That’S HOW football GOES
That wonderful my team maranda branch.we love you all
congrats, now you come up against my team esperance. the most complete side in africa and we are going to win the champions league this year.
’87 will not happen again we will win in nairobi and in tunis
congrats though west africa is 2nd hardest after north africa
unlucky you have to meet the best club in africa, any team would be knocked out by taraji.
big thenx to Jerry leading as a team captain.hizo save sio hivyo ndivyo unafanyanga…u left bitam waki jam yao yote.woloi woloi woloi na ivyo ndivyo tulitolewangwa.to esperance .we’ve Bob ogolla experience who’ll tell them how the mood was wen playing u guys.to obwoge,i do feel for u to b of wich ur a top striker.start training head balls.know how to time n after timing wea to place.walusumbi,Akumu,Mutiso,Musa will b bringing over head balls.at Shakava ur the next in harambe stars.i like how u compose urself.Kuna watu wengine yao ni ovious.kopany,kariuki n kevin oluoch ndio bado.
Omam Biyik may have scored in Italia 90 but he should know people. A team that plays in a hostile environment without its defence King-pin (King David) for a whole 20 minutes and still comes out tops deserves a hero’s welcome. A team that is able to stop two malicious penalties is world class. Congratulations team. Congratulations Sir Bobby rateng’ wuod Ogolla for inspiring the boys against tribulations that you are only too familiar with. Shame on West Africans.
The red-carding of King David is not a surprise. Right from the first leg, we knew that the Gabonese had marked him for a sending off (because of his standing out in the defense), but we could not go public because it could have been alarmist. Instead we prayed and prayed. Thank you Almighty God for nullifying all their evil machinations.
Bloggers, we must continue joining hands and continue petitioning God for more victories especially over Esperance. We must all join hands and pray for this great club. Each of us has a special attachment to Gor Mahia and this includes Jakoyo who has been misrepresented in the previous post very mischievously. That person impersonating Jakoyo is the same one who just the other day called himself Mwakio P. He still is the same coward who posted some childish complaints here under the name of Gor Player…Benson Disi grow up. Bure Kabisa.
Bloggers i thank GOD SO MUCH my laptop was on throughout following the results from gabon until it went off at the time of need when gor was going for penalties with bitam due to power outage.But what annoyed me most is this impostor called jakoyo ,i was really restless thinking that the guy was giving us correct information just to realize that this guy is nowhere and is just happy at our downfall.BLOGGERS you can go back to the previous blogs is when you will know that this guy is very stupid and thick and i wont withdraw my words.jakoyo told us totally upposite information, it is this jakoyo who told us that the teams went for the extra thirty minutes while futaa is telling us that we went straight to penalties.This is my plea to the admin of this blog please this jakoyo guy should not be allowed to post his nonsense here.jakoyo if you could know how we were serious with this game you could not joke with our psychology. i spent my one thousand shillings to buy unlimited bundles to follow this game from all directions,i closed myself in the bedroom to run away from my young boy so that i can follow the game in the internet just to realize that jakoyo was cheating us.AM very bitter admin with this guy dont ever allow him to post his nonsense in this blog.

Update from bitam……game over ! Kudos to bitam goalkeeper! Kogallo have packed their bags , it’s time to go home, we have lost on penalties. We should not have lost to this time, surely! Once again, sad day for kogallo but the question is……..what do we do about our offensive play.Bloggers are seeing the reason i hate this guy,are you seeing what he was busy posting.more to come…
Mwakio am not jakoyo, I am baa. Get your facts right chali yangu.
This is an excellent result for Kenya; congratulations on a job well-done!!
@Baa, which truthful update were you telling us to aplogise to Jakoyo impostor if you were not him?
To mitnaa yawa,,kogalo damu, cograts boys ,all boys nd tb thnks. jerry, u really love ua team coz, the last penalts u face wen the team facd tasker, ukukuwa poa hivi, mwaaah..
mwakio leave alone this BAAA CHIETHA,He is jakoyo …
The team was focused and therefore successful. Well done Kogalo,Keep your head up! Its does not matter how you won but that you held it together and won! Kudos!
@ mwakio I think you are jakoyo.
What funny metamorphosis!! Jakoyo aka Mr Baaa.Thats not my business.
Congratulations team Kogalo.As is known always playing against West Africans is not any body’s cup of tea. To eliminate such a team is no small achievement. Jerry oh Jerry,where art thou come from with such miracles unbeknown to us hitherto.Two penalties in play time and one during the shootouts? The Mapunda magic has surely rubbed into you.Calabar’s suspension is surely a sad case,he will nt be available for Esperance’s game in Nairobi!!!!
The goals will surely come, BB25, RS21,DS8,K14,SK9 -they will open floodgates very soon, watch this space; remember DS8 suffered such goal drought at the beginning of last season,then see what happened later.
Though I am not part of the TB i would like them to sharpen Obwoge but advising on his composure, timing of his runs, being clinical on his finishing, using his physique aptly and he will be the next big thing in Kenyan soccer. Their twin striking with Danny will be very lethal. I believe he will make it and I have no doubt about it.
On bloggers thanks for those like me who believed we could make it and a lesson for the doubting Thomases. We need to support the team even when they are down. That’s why we identify with it.
Congrats again boys
Kogalo mora yawa to mitna mitna yawa. Their promise of 4 nill hasbeen turned on them. they should have walked their talk as Jagol did.
Congrats Boyz dont av much to say but just to thank the ALMIGHTY for all this its not easy to win in west Africa as u just saw the frustration they went through,now the some of us here suggested that when we reach for penalties jerry should leave the post for Juma,now we are here praising Jerry for what he did,guys lets give these people the support they need whether we loose or we win n we will see the result we always crying for
All over sudden Bobby Williamson is a great man!! Guys must learn to criticise constructively. He left out the darling of the crowd Blackberry Odhiambo and it worked out very well. Only God knows the kind of abuse he would have received if it backfired. This game needed caution!!! On the other hand, I don’t know what kind of prayers this man Shakava prays!! I need to consult him coz getting a number ahead of Emuge is just too many miracles happening. And he is doing well.
thanks God the team is good n its bitam knws it betta
@Baa, I am not Jakoyo and I will not be Jakoyo no matter what the circumstances. From your previous posting, it looks like you and please stop this nonsense by identifying yourself.
I will ask Okoth Jabilo to pray for you.
guys pple lk jakoyo shld stop such rumous he must be veri silli at a time whn we nd 2 support the team wholli
@Pmawego it’d good you have noticed how inconsistent we are on criticising the TB, EC and even fellow fans.
This is usually a recipe for instability in the team. Let’s support this team like no other since it’s what gives us pleasure and grief in equal measure
jack u r right true fans n team kudos
Congrats are in order. Bitam is now history, focus should now be City Stars on Thursday, then Mathare on Sunday. After that start plotting for Esperence. All the best.
For God and my beloved club – Kogallo
Great performance Kogalo fraternity. Great performance Jagol
Kudos to the boys for a great win in a tough match.
Mungu Baba Asante!
Kogalo For Ever!!
I was really happy to get the final results,though i followed it from minute to minute i must admit there are imposters who are praying evil for the team..to Jerry i myself doubted u ahead of this return leg n u have proved me wrong,lesson learnt is that lets support whichever player that shall b fielded by the coach in any match,he knows why.i love the spirit n focus now shifts to City stars,we have to start it right n maintain till the end of season.
God bless Gor Mahia.
From all that has been reported to have happened in Bitam, I think is too naive.The west Africans should know that, that is not how to win games. Why should they resort to mistreatment of the opposing teams. It is too acaiche to do somethings. It really splits my heart with joy that K’Ogalo stood their grounds. How did the ref. look after the match especially after the 85th penalty save? Am just wondering what steps CAF will take because these are the type of refs who bring redicule on African Football.It is very unfortunate that Calabar was red carded. However, let the K’Ogalo family rest assured that we are a team and not the individual. As such, we will still soldier on.
Congratulations to the team.i would wish for the coach to encourage our midfielders especially teddy,eric,kizito and dan whom i all consider as defensive midfielders to be confident with their skills such that they able to possess the ball and also create chances from the midfield.it is possible to win and play some entertaining football.bravo kogallo!
king David thank u
Kogallo family and entire kenyans let’s pray for Gor, we need our 1987 cup back!
Glory be to God. Gor mahia you made my day. Now we wait for thursday.
congrats boys,for a job well done
Ouko,haki buda umekul? nilickia ulibet na bibi gor ikifungwa unampea baiskel,na gor aki2wanga mtu,anakupea mtoi mwingine,so cjui vile mlimafanya,an kogalo mora matek,kogalo yawa,aheri adier l’m great 2 b kogalo fun coz omit adier.AGWARA MAN.
