Indeed Logarusic has yet to loose to Ingwe since he joined the team in 2012. New Leopards coach Luc Eymael having been outcoached by Loga, left the field in a huff and did not participate in post-game interviews as required by sponsors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Its all in the tactics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, coach Zdvarko Logarusic showed his tactical acumen by making timely changes in formation and personel that completely changed the direction of the game and resulted in a crucial win over Ingwe. Logarusic has in effect quieted the chorus of doubters which had started to become a crescendo after successive draws with bottom sides SoNy Sugar and Kakamega Homeboyz.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Loga Elated<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Logarusic could not hide his joy as he heaped praises on the players calling the win the starting point to their title challenge.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am a very happy man today as it was a very tough match but we held on despite the strong challenge from our opponents. The resilience and determination by my players paid off handsomely as they effectively used a counter attack to finish off leopards and this are some of the tactics we have been practising,&#8221; an elated Logarusic told supersport.com.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This win is a huge motivations factor for the team and from now on we have set sights to winning our remaining matches to give the title chase another shot this season. I would also like to thank our fans for being very supportive as they stood with us until the end of the game,&#8221; he added to supesport.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rewards<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After the match, Deputy president William Ruto rewarded the players with a cash donation of Ksh 500,000. According to George Bwana, the entire sum will be shared by the players. he also indicated that each player received ksh 10,000 for the derby win.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inching Upwards<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia are now three points adrift of league leaders Thika United. Club secretary general George Bwana has indicated that\u00a0the players will not get too excited:\u00a0&#8220;We don\u2019t want to be carried away. We want to take it a game a game and see where we will be at the close of the first leg&#8221; Bwana told futaa.com<\/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\/gor-mahia-slowly-regaining-form\/\"\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>With two successive wins over Muhoroni Youth and even more importantly over arch rivals AFC Leopards Gor Mahia are slowly<\/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-2381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2381","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=2381"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2381\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
