From the start, it was a relatively balanced affair with both teams giving as much as they received.<\/p>\n<p>But as the minutes rolled on, Stima upped their efforts but there was still no clear cut chance to talk about. Stima could only boast of a 30th minute free-kick awarded after Ali Abondo fouled Ronald Okoth inside his box.<\/p>\n<p>For the KPL champions, their best chance of the game came at the stroke of half time when Abondo picked out George &#8216;Blackberry&#8217; Odhiambo and the latter set up Meddie Kagere but the last shot was not keen enough to count going above the post.<\/p>\n<p>Going into the second half, Gor Mahia with the backing of home fans, showed some flashes of aggression and they could easily have got a goal. Abondo and Kagere kept the Stima backline quite engaged and they were able to get the third of their opponents half often.<\/p>\n<p>But the best Gor Mahia could create from their efforts were corner kicks with Ali Abondo allowed to take most of them. By the 50th minute, the KPL champions had forced three corners which however, all ended fruitless though it still helped to bring out their opponents.<\/p>\n<p>Kagere was to come close in the 75th minute attempting with a shot that Gabriel Andika in Stima goal dealt with well. Two minutes after that, Gor Mahia\u2019s pressure allowed Ronald Omino to make another attempt at the Stima goal and the hosts attempted a feeble fight back with Ronald Okoth wasting to do something better.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia captain Musa Mohammed was cautioned for foul play. After this, George Odhiambo wasted a free-kick from close range and in the end <em>K\u2019Ogalo<\/em> had to be content with a single point.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Starting XI<\/b>\u00a0:Bonface Oluoch\u00a0 &#8211; Musa Mohammed &#8211; Karim Nizigiyimana &#8211; Abouba Sibomana &#8211; Harun Shakava &#8211; Ali Abondo &#8211; Meddie Kagere &#8211; Timothy Otieno &#8211; George Odhiambo &#8211; Khalid Aucho &#8211; Innocent Wafula<\/p>\n<p><b>Subs<\/b>: Jerim Onyango &#8211; Ronald Otieno &#8211; Bernard Odhiambo &#8211; Simon Pierre &#8211; Eric Ochieng &#8211; Ernest Wendo &#8211; Kevin Oluoch<\/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-held-scoreless-by-stima\/\"\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>Gor Mahia drew 0-0 with Western Stima in a Kenya Premier League match played at Kisumu stadium on Sunday. courtesy<\/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":[343,136],"class_list":["post-6706","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-2015-kenya-premier-league","tag-gor-mahia-vs-western-stima"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6706","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=6706"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6706\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6718,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6706\/revisions\/6718"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6706"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6706"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6706"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
