Former Gor Mahia player, Jimmy Bageya scored the all important goal on 52 minutes to give the Kawangware side its first win of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Kogalo fielded the same lineup that had beaten Mathare in the KPL Top 8 tourney last Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>New signing, Edwin Lavatsa almost gave Gor the lead after four minutes but his header missed the target by inches.<\/p>\n<p>City Stars\u00a0 gained in confidence and George Odari&#8217;s fierce freekick hit the post on 20 minutes. On 52 minutes Bageya silenced the crowd with a clam finish.<\/p>\n<p>Coach Zedekiah Otieno brought on Tony Onyango, Wycliffe Opondo and Ezekiel Odera to no avail.<\/p>\n<p>Kogalo went on the attack but were stifled by the strong City Stars defence that belied their position at the bottom of the table.<\/p>\n<p>Coach Zico blamed fatigue, saying that his team played 3 games in two weeks. But the question is, why did&#8217;nt he rest key players for the meaningless game against Mathare on Wednesday ?<\/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\/kogalo-in-shock-loss-to-city-stars\/\"\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>Collins Okoth in action against City Stars Bottom club, Nairobi City Stars were the latest club to send shockwaves across<\/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":[],"class_list":["post-138","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138","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=138"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
