KRA FC and Gor Mahia played to a barren draw in an entertaining Kenyan Premier League (KPL) match played at the MISC Kasarani on Saturday 14th June.
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

Goalkeepers from both teams had a good game but it is Gor Mahia\u2019s Jerim Onyango who undoubtedly stood out.<\/p>\n

Geoffrey Kataka could have opened the scoring for KRA just after kick off, making a good solo run into the Gor box but Jerim Onyango punched away his hard shot for a fruitless corner.<\/p>\n

Rama Salim and Dan Sserenkuma exchanged neat passes in the 14th minute and the Ugandan International released a through pass to the on running Rama but KRA custodian Philip Odhiambo came quick off his line to clear off the danger.<\/p>\n

Odhiambo again did well to deny Rama in the 26th minute, punching away his powerful header from a Joseph Wanyonyi corner kick. KRA striker Roosevelt Blatty found himself in a good scoring position minutes later after he was put through by Kataka but his hard shot was parried away by the impressive Jerim Onyango.<\/p>\n

Gor Mahia’s youngster Joseph Wanyonyi made a good run down the left flank, left Davies Ikocheli for dead but shot disappointingly wide from inside the box in the 35th minute.<\/p>\n

KRA custodian Philip Odhiambo dived to save Sserenkuma’s low shot after the Ugandan had intercepted Douglas Okumu’s back pass in the 45th minute.<\/p>\n

Second Half<\/b><\/p>\n

Gor Mahia introduced youngster Herbert Kopany just after the breather. Sserenkuma could have opened the scoring three minutes later but Philiph Odhiambo denied him.<\/p>\n

KRA brought it former Gor Mahia midfielder Ivan Anguyo for Evans Albera in the 64th minute and rested Joseph Muleme for former City Stars forward George Mwangi minutes later.<\/p>\n

Jerim Onyango punched away Mwangi’s powerful header from inside the box in the 68th minute as KRA continued piling in the pressure in search of the opening goal.<\/p>\n

Gor tactician Bobby Williamson introduced Kevin Omondi for Kopany in the 68th minute and Dan Onyango for the jaded Eric Ochieng in the 78th minute.<\/p>\n

Both teams continued their search for the crucial goal but it was not to be largely due to the outstanding goalkeeping of Jerim Onyango and Philip Odhiambo.<\/p>\n

Gor Mahia is still at the helm of the 16-team KPL log with 30 points while KRA is fifth with 24 points, both having played 15 matches.<\/p>\n
