By the tenth minute, the Brewers enjoyed more possession; 57 % against Gor&#8217;s 43 %.<\/p>\n<p>In the 17th minute, hardworking Tusker FC midfielder Fredrick Onyango fouled Dan Sserenkuma outside the box, Gor winning a freekick. Kevin Omondi shot straight at Tusker custodian Boniface Oluoch, wasting a precious chance.<br \/>\nThe game was well settled down by the 25th minute but turned out to be more physical and by halftime the center referee had dished out three yellow cards, two to Gor&#8217;s Eric Okoth and Anjelo Okumo and one to Tusker&#8217;s Robert Omunuk.<\/p>\n<p><b>Second Half<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Both teams made changes soon after the restart; debutant Anjelo Okumu was replaced by Paul Kiongera while Joseph Pablo Njuguna took the place of old horse Eric Ochieng. Tusker brought in Joshua Oyoo for Ugandan Robert Omunuk.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Omondi wasted another glorious chance to give Gor the lead in the 50th minute, shooting straight into the arms of Oluoch after a good run on the left wing.<\/p>\n<p>A Jerim Onyango clearance in the 62nd minute appeared to have touched Musa Mohammed on his left hand and the center referee awarded Tusker a penalty which Ismael Salim calmly slotted in.<\/p>\n<p>Boniface Oluoch did well to deny Gor an equalizer in the 76th minute after a right-footed volley by diminutive Ugandan striker, Dan Sserenkuma.<\/p>\n<p>Gor brought in Edwin Lavatsa for Innocent Mutiso in the 80th minute while Tusker made a defensive sub, pulling out KPL top scorer Jesse Were for Nigerian defender Jeffery Governer and it paid off as they (Tusker FC) managed to defend their lead until the end.<\/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-go-down-to-tusker\/\"\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>courtesy of futaa.com A 62nd minute goal from the spot by former SoNy Sugar forward Ismael Dunga was all that<\/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-3018","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3018","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=3018"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3018\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
