They kept Zachary Onyango busy in the Gor Mahia goal. Samuel Murungi was twice denied by Onyango. The first was a swerving freekick which Onyango punched over the bar. Full back Yusuf Juma responded with a similar effort in the 24th minute which was saved by the Sharks goalkeeper.<\/p>\n<p>In the second half, coach Logarusic made 8 changes. Gor Mahia started to pressure the Sharks goal but the Sharks defenders held them back. In the 92nd minute, a cross from Innocent Mutiso was handled by a Sharks defender causing the referee to point to the spot. Dan Ssserunkuma stepped up to convert the penalty and clinch a win for Gor Mahia.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, it was not a performance that will inspire the confidence of Kogalo fans especially with only one week left before the start of the league and the start of the CAF cup. However it is worth noting that Gor Mahia fielded an experimental side.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia will next play Posta Rangers in a midweek friendly<\/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\/late-penalty-sinks-sharks\/\"\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>A 92nd minute penalty converted by Dan Sserunkuma enabled Gor Mahia to edge second tier side Kariobangi Sharks 1-0.
