The match was moved from Kinoru stadium to Kericho as the former stadium is under renovation. <\/p>\n<p>Tusker are currently third placed nine points behind Gor Mahia but still within striking distance. A win for Tusker will see them whittle that gap down to six points. So Tusker will come to the match determined. After slumping during the first few matches of the second leg, Tusker have put their campaign back on course. This week they beat Bandari 0-0. <\/p>\n<p>Kogalo for their part will be looking to consolidate their lead after a disappointing scoreless draw against Thika United. On Tuesday, Gor Mahia shockingly lost 5-1 to Administration Police, an NSL side. It was former Gor Mahia player Kevin Omondi, who came back to haunt Gor Mahia. He always plays well against his former club.<\/p>\n<p>The last time Kogalo and Tusker played was in April, the match ended in a scoreless draw. In March the two sides met in the Super Cup which Gor Mahia won 1-0 with a Jacque Tuyisenge penalty. Goals are usually rare when these two sides meet. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/gor-mahia-take-on-tusker-in-crucial-tie\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Saturday at Kericho Green stadium, Kogalo will take on defending champions Tusker in what is shaping up to be<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[201],"class_list":["post-10025","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-gor-mahia-vs-tusker"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10025","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10025"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10025\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10026,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10025\/revisions\/10026"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10025"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10025"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10025"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
