Gor Mahia beat Chemelil Sugar 2-0 in Kisumu on Wednesday to restore their seven-point lead over second-placed Sofapaka on the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) table<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenneth Muguna <\/strong>and Samwel Onyango <\/strong>were\n responsible for helping Gor Mahia pick up six points from the Sugar \nMillers this season after winning the reverse fixture with the same \nscoreline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mpondo\n Samwel was quick to deny Francis Kahata an entry into Chemelil Sugar\u2019s \nbox in the seventh minute, after Kahata and Erisa Ssekisambu had a good \nbuild-up before Mpondo robbed the Gor Mahia midfielder and cleared his \narea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joash\n Onyango saved Gor Mahia from early blushes when he stopped a \ncounter-attack by the hosts in the 15th minute. The Harambee Stars \ndefender managed to slide and clear the ball from the feet of Adefeya \nJunior as the Chemelil Sugar forward made his way towards Gor Mahia\u2019s \nbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Francis\n Baraza had to make an early change when Lucas Waitere was stretched off\n in the 33rd minute with Charles Okiya taking his place. Onyango’s \nreckless tackle on Waitere forced the Millers to make that first half \nsubstitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenneth\n Muguna scored the first goal for the Green Army in the 38th minute from\n a free kick – Ssekisambu was fouled outside the box and that chance \nproved all that Gor Mahia needed to bag the first goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okiya\n could have restored parity on the hour mark if he were clinical \nwhen the chance presented that itself following an accurate Richard Oti \npass. Okiya failed to beat Frederick Odhiambo, who was all but beaten in\n goal, as his shot went off target from close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philip\n Mwangale’s timely goal-line clearance denied Nicholas Kipkirui from \ndoubling Gor Mahia’s lead in the 68th minute. The former Zoo FC striker \nhad beaten Morgan Alube in Chemelil Sugar’s goal but Mwangale’s quick \nreaction kept the Millers in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samwel\n Onyango doubled Gor Mahia’s lead in the 76th minute after Chrispin \nOpondo blundered inside his area. The former Ulinzi Stars man has now \nbagged seven goals for the defending KPL champions, level with Kipkirui \nwho was substituted in the 79th minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A\n bigger test awaits the Green Army as they host Sofapaka on May 12 in \nKisumu. Chemelil Sugar will be away at Mbaraki to face Bandari on May \n14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chemelil Sugar XI:<\/strong>\n Alube Morgan, Opondo Crispin, Mahiga Vincent, Omino James, Mwangale \nPhilip, Mpondo Samwel, Akoko Nicholas, Oduor Pablo, Oti Richard, Waitere\n Lucas, Adeyefa Junior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
