On Wednesday they beat Western Stima 2-1. The goals came from Francis Kahata and Wellington Ochieng . The loss puts Western Stima further in peril of relegation. hey are in 1th position only two points ahead of Thika United.<\/p>\n<p>It was Stima who took the lead in the 17th minute from a Victor Omumbo penalty after Musa Mohamed was judged to have pushed a Stima player. In the 28th minute, Evans Kiwanuka should have doubled the lead. But with only Odhoji to beat, he skyed the ball over the bar.<\/p>\n<p>Kogalo equalized when Francis Kahata sent a high ball into the area. The Wester Stima keeper misjudged the ball expecting a cross , only to see the ball sail into the net.<\/p>\n<p>Kagere showed his poaching skills in the 35th minute when he intercepted a backpass but his effort hit the side netting.<\/p>\n<p>Three minutes later, Wellington Ochieng put Kogalo ahead when he deflected a well taken free-kick from Walusimbi into the net. Then in the 44th minute, Ochieng was at it again, this time his shot almost resulted in an own goal as Vitalis Akumu struggled to make a goalmouth clearance.<\/p>\n<p>The second half had far less action than the first. Jacque Tuyisenge who is chaing the golden boot had his best chance in the 58th minute when he met w Walusimbi cross but his effort went over the bar.<\/p>\n<p>In the 80th minute, Bernard Ondiek tested Odhoji forcing a good save from the latter.<\/p>\n<p>For Gor Mahia, this match presented opportunities for players like Shaban Odhoji who has seen little or no action all season and central defender Joash Onyango.\u00a0 It was also an opportunity for players who are chasing individual awards to further make their case. The game also serves the purpose of keeping the players sharp and motivated.<\/p>\n<p>Next up is Zoo Kericho on Sunday. The match is to be played in Kericho. Given the tension n the country, KPL should consider scheduling the match at a different venue.<\/p>\n<div class=\"page-container\">\n<div class=\"page-container-bg\">\n<div class=\"module-infinite-scroll gutters clearfix\" data-module=\"article\/infinite-scroll ad\" data-settings=\"[{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;1uenpyhy76et311u17cn41kfu9&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;Al Ahly's training session ahead of the CAF Champions League final had to be abandoned after fans flooded onto the pitch in support of their heroes.&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Al Ahly training session ends in chaos after fans flood pitch&quot;,&quot;headline&quot;:&quot;Al Ahly training session ends in chaos after fans flood pitch&quot;,&quot;keywords&quot;:[&quot;WTF&quot;,&quot;Al Ahly&quot;,&quot;Wydad Casablanca v Al Ahly&quot;,&quot;Wydad Casablanca&quot;,&quot;CAF Champions League&quot;],&quot;url&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/www.goal.com\\\/en-ke\\\/news\\\/al-ahly-training-session-ends-in-chaos-after-fans-flood\\\/1uenpyhy76et311u17cn41kfu9&quot;,&quot;requestUrl&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/www.goal.com\\\/en-ke\\\/ajax\\\/news\\\/1uenpyhy76et311u17cn41kfu9&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;hlzoumnvo3xp1fd82sue6cu0h&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;The African trio joined the Gunners for their annual Christmas photo session in the club's traditional festive wear&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;EXTRA TIME: Arsenal\\u2019s Iwobi, Elneny, Akpom pose in Christmas jumpers&quot;,&quot;headline&quot;:&quot;EXTRA TIME: Iwobi, Elneny, Akpom pose in Arsenal\\u2019s Christmas jumpers&quot;,&quot;keywords&quot;:[&quot;African All Stars&quot;,&quot;A.
