In the process, Gor Mahia kept their 10th succesive clean sheet and ended the first leg of the 2015 Kenya Premier League unbeaten<\/p>\n<p>courtesy of goal.com<br \/>\nRwandese striker Meddie Kagere scored the only goal of the match in the 78th minute to ensure K\u2019Ogalo finished at the top of the log with 39 points. The goal came after a series of missed chances in the first half.<\/p>\n<p>On resumption, Gor Mahia maintained their offensive tempo and were the first to be awarded a corner but Ali Abondo failed to find the back of the net after out jumping his markers. Three minutes into the second half another of Abondo&#8217;s effort went past the Tusker goal.<\/p>\n<p>But in the 54th minute, Michael Olunga should have put his side ahead after he headed well from an Ali Abondo free-kick. The ball hit a Tusker defender and went out for a fruitless corner as Gor Mahia unsuccessfully pleaded for a penalty. The under pressure brewers then rested Ronnie Osumba for Ronald Musana.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia on the other hand rested injured Godfrey Walusimbi for Innocent Wafula. The Ugandan international had been hacked down by Tusker defender Jockins Atudo, who was duly booked for the offense. Gor Mahia&#8217;s Khalid Aucho was also booked.<\/p>\n<p>Martin Musalia was a busy man in the Tusker goal and at the hour mark reacted well and quickly to keep out Meddie Kagere&#8217;s diving header. It was the fourth time Gor Mahia were exposing the Tusker backline boosting of some of the most experienced players locally.<\/p>\n<p>The Tusker goalkeeper could however, not do much when Meddie Kagere jumped to head home a 78th minute effort from Khalid Aucho. The goal brought the Moi Stadium in Kisumu to a thunderous applause as Gor Mahia ended the first leg with their unbeaten run intact. The result also meant K&#8217;Ogalo goalkeeper Boniface Oluoch kept a tenth clean sheet of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from a free-kick late in the match, the brewers were a major disappointment and made no effort to threaten Gor Mahia backline. It was yet another poor show by the brewers, who have to go back to the drawing board ahead of the second leg and reassess their performance.<\/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-continues-to-march-on-with-big-win-over-tusker\/\"\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>&nbsp; Gor Mahia secured a huge win over Tusker beating them 1-0 at Moi stadium Kisumu.
