Nuttall hails charges as Goro praises team

Gor Mahia coach Frank Nuttall has hailed his sides togetherness and team work as the reason for yet another valuable win against a side that played tough and was determined to grab points against Gor Mahia.

“A difficult match it was but through teamwork, togetherness plus the discipline, we managed to collect the vital points. That was really a cool finish from Olunga. We overcame any sort of pressure and deserved to win the match” he said according to futaa.com.

Nuttall further praised his charges for putting on a solid display despite difficult traveling arrangements.

“It was another impressive performance by the boys. We were a bit affected by the travelling but they still gave their best,” he said in a post-match interview.

With two games left before the end of the first leg, Gor Mahia are now 9 points ahead of second placed Sofapaka. With 27 goals scorded, they have scored 7 goals more than the second highest team. By conceding only 6 goals, they have conceded 5 goals fewer than any other team.

James Goro Oronge praises Kogalo

Former Gor Mahia striker Goro Oronge who is a resident of Kisumu city based has praised Kogalo after having had some opportunities to watch them play in Kisumu.

“Gor mahia fc played a great game in Kisumu. Aucho and Olunga were outstanding and almost all the players are young. That is what worries me for we lose concentration in the middle of the game. If this team can be kept together for the next 5 years to mature, then this Gor can make it places. The accurate passes of Aucho and the pace and shooting of Oluonga reminds me of my former team mates the late Abbass Khamis Magongo and Sammy Onyango jogoo. Good goalkeeping was also noticed. Lets keep this team intact and we can claim the lost glory we talk about so much.” said Gor on his social media page.

Good of Oronge to notice the stellar goalkeeping of Boniface Oluoch who is largely responsible for the fact that Gor Mahia has conceded only 7 goals so far.

Oronge joined Gor Mahia in January of 1985. Much was expected from his since his father Peter Oronge had been a legend for Harambee stars in the early 1960s and was at one time player-coach of Harambee stars.
