In the 9<sup>th<\/sup> minute, Eric Ochieng\u2019s corner was headed wide by Rama Salim.<\/p>\n<p>In the 14<sup>th<\/sup> minute, Rama Salim utilized Yusuf Juma blunder to race forward but his cross was cut back by Eugine Asike for a fruitless corner before Patrick Kagogo\u2019s was intercepted by David Owino.<\/p>\n<p>Enoch Agwanda opened the referee\u2019s book with a yellow card after fouling Eric Ochieng\u2019 in the 17<sup>th<\/sup> minute. The former escaped a second booking after bringing down Godfrey Walusimbi in the 23<sup>rd<\/sup> minute.<\/p>\n<p>Dan Sserunkuma then saw his goal called for offside in the 24<sup>th<\/sup> minute, the Ugandan international had connected into an empty net from a shot.<\/p>\n<p>Sam Timbe withdrew left back Yusuf Juma for John Njoroge in the 25<sup>th<\/sup> minute to perhaps stabilize the position and slow down the rate at which the opponents were attacking from the flank.<\/p>\n<p>Two minutes later, John Baraza found Patrick Kagogo who made no mistake of placing the ball past David Juma in the Gor Mahia goal for the opener.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia corner taken by Eric Ochieng\u2019 in the 32<sup>nd<\/sup> minute was cleared by Sofapaka defence, moments later Geoffrey Kizito was too slapped with a yellow card for bringing down Kagogo.<\/p>\n<p>Centre referee Raphael Nduati then controversially awarded the hosts a penalty after Felly Mulumba was judged to have brought down Sserunkuma when he actually went for the ball; the former was yellow carded before the Uganda Cranes forward added his goal tally to six, that happening in the 38<sup>th<\/sup> minute.<\/p>\n<p>Antony Ndolo was another Sofapaka player booked this time round fouling Eric Ochieng\u2019 in the 42<sup>nd<\/sup> minute. No side find the back of the net with three minutes of added time.<\/p>\n<p>In the second half, Sofapaka started from where they left in the first stanza controlling the game from the middle of the park but Gor Mahia played cautiously to ensure they do not concede the second goal.<\/p>\n<p>Gor had a corner in the 55<sup>th<\/sup> minute well dealt with after Israel Emuge fouled David Okello with the latter coming to Sofapaka rescue again in the 61<sup>st<\/sup> minute, denying Sserunkuma a brace on a one against one situation.<\/p>\n<p>Timbe made the second substitution in the 63<sup>rd<\/sup> minute, pulling out Enoch Agwanda for youngster Ellie Asieche, three minutes later, Timonah Wanyonyi came on for Eric Ochieng\u2019 in what was Gor Mahia\u2019s first change in the tie.<\/p>\n<p>Geoffrey Kizito found Rama Salim upfront but the former Congo United midfielder hacked Mulumba when going for the high ball in the 73<sup>rd<\/sup> minute before Walusimbi utilized the melee to cross for Rama who turned home past a helpless David Okello for the second goal.<\/p>\n<p>Mulumba who was on the ground still was stretched off for treatment with George Owino coming on for the captain after four minutes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sofapaka could not convert few of their created chances to restore parity allowing Gor Mahia to extend their winning streak against Batoto ba Mungu since 2009 save for the Kenya Power Charity Cup even with four minutes of added time.<\/p>\n<p><b>Gor Mahia Starting XI:<\/b>\u00a016.
