And Muguna knows that the club cannot take their foot off the accelerator pedal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> &#8220;We want to win [the league], it has been our objective every season but  right now it is important to play one game at a time. It is going to be  tough because we have the likes of Tusker, Sofapaka, and Bandari fighting for the same but we are determined to give our best,&#8221; Muguna concluded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile AFC coach Casa Mbungo, who refused to speak to reporters after the match, finallt got around to doing so. He rejects the idea that Gor Mahia are better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8221; Gor Mahia are not at a higher level than AFC Leopards it is only the  experience they have got especially from various competitions they have  been\u00a0which have given them the edge over us,\u201d  he said to goal.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mbungo says that poor marking cost his team<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\u201cWe lost the game in the second half and that was due to poor \nconcentration and poor marking. After going down by two goals I decided \nto take the risk and introduced attacking players at the expense of \ndefenders but, unfortunately, it did not work,\u201d\n\n<\/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\/muguna-we-were-fatigued-in-the-first-half\/\"\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>Gor Mahia skipper Kenneth Muguna says that the team experienced fatigue which resulted in their slow start againsty arch rivals<\/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":[457],"class_list":["post-15366","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-kenneth-muguna"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15366","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=15366"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15366\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15367,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15366\/revisions\/15367"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15366"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15366"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15366"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
