It was Ismail Dunga who should have put Tusker ahead but was denied by Jerim Onyango for a fruitless corner in fourth minute.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia got their first chance in the 9th minute. Godfrey Walusimbi picked out Timothy Otieno with a beautiful effort. The young striker left Jockins Atudo stranded but his final shot was ably stopped by Samuel Odhiambo in the Tusker goal for a corner.<\/p>\n<p>The Tusker backline did well to deny Dan Sserunkuma an opportunity to attack them directly but the Ugandan still found space to try and get a goal from the flanks. His sudden burst put Tusker under a lot of pressure. Gor Mahia made first substitution resting an injured Eric Ochieng for Dan Onyango.<\/p>\n<p>Both teams displayed a highly physical game leaving centre referee Sylvester Kirwa with no option but to caution a number of players. First on Kirwa&#8217;s book was Tusker defender Lloyd Wahome. Aboud Omar followed next.<\/p>\n<p>On Gor Mahia side, Godfrey Walusimbi, Collins Okoth and David Owino were all booked. Gor Mahia raced ahead in the 59th minute when Dan Sserunkuma scored from the penalty spot.<\/p>\n<p>Jerim Onyango denied Khalid Aucho in 67th minute with a low shot. Then Tusker coach Francis Kimanzi made some super substitutions which worked well to get his side a point.<\/p>\n<p>He rested Robert Omunuk for Clifford Alwanga, pulled out Athman Buki for Andrew Tololwa to remain with a three man backline with no reason to defend. Gor Mahia on the other hand rested goal scorer Dan Sserunkuma for George Odhiambo but it was Tusker&#8217;s substitutions which worked.<\/p>\n<p>Tololwa worked well with Anthony Kamau and Clifford Alwanga in a forward line that gave Gor Mahia plenty of trouble. In 84th minute, Kimani found Alwanga, who headed towards goal and was denied by Jerim Onyango but Tololwa scored from the rebound.<\/p>\n<p>Tololwa could have easily made it two at full time but was denied by the wood work with Onyango well beaten.<\/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-tusker-1\/\"\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 Ugandan striker Dan Sserunkuma scored for Gor Mahia before Andrew Tololwa equalised for the brewers with six<\/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-5354","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5354","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=5354"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5354\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5354"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5354"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5354"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
