The win now pushes <em>K\u2019Ogalo<\/em> back to summit on 23 points while Sony Sugar are ninth after amassing 14 points.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia were the better side from the first whistle and deserved to go ahead after a number of missed chances through Ugandan Dan Sserunkuma.<\/p>\n<p>The sugar millers under former Gor Mahia player Zedekiah \u2018Zico\u2019 Otieno, should have taken the lead after five minutes but top scorer Edwin Oduor\u2019s goal was ruled for offside after being put through by Marwa Chamberi.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia started to threaten after the scare with Erick Ochieng\u2019 and Dan Sserunkuma combining well and forced a corner whose resultant kick was cleared off the line.<\/p>\n<p>On resumption, Sony looked more dangerous on counter attacks with Chamberi twice coming close. The sugar millers\u2019 efforts to attack, were however, thwarted after they were reduced to ten men in 68th minute when Eugine Ochieng\u2019 was shown straight red for a foul on Erick Ochieng\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>From the resultant free-kick delivered by Anthony \u2018Teddy\u2019 Akumu, the ball hit the post and rebounded back only to land in the feet of Sserunkuma, who struck home.<\/p>\n<p>The goal however, did not dumpen Sony from attacking and coach &#8216;Zico&#8217; Otieno injected new blood into the squad bringing in John Semegunyi for Marwa Chamberi. The sugar millers then rested Victor Ochieng&#8217; for Victor Ademba.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia coach Bobby Williamson also introduced Shaban Kenga for Rama Salim and in 84th minute they squandred another chance to go 2-0 up after goalkeeper Lukas Indeche saved a well taken free-kick from Godfrey Walusimbi.<\/p>\n<p><em>K&#8217;Ogalo<\/em> coach Bobby Williamson was satisfied with the outcome despite blaming Sony Sugar of applying defensive tactics. \u201cSony Sugar wanted a draw because they tried to restrict us from playing our flowing game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a matter of when to get them on counter attack because they resorted to a more defensive game than attacking. I am though satisfied because the win takes us back to the top.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/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-1-sony-sugar-0\/\"\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 goal.com Gor Mahia returned to the top of Kenya Premier League table standings following a hard fought 1-0<\/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-4511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4511","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=4511"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4511\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4511"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4511"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
