The \u2018Slum Boys\u2019 had looked destined to end K\u2019Ogalo\u2019s unbeaten record in Kenyan Premier League until Meddie Kagere scored the equalizer at Nyayo<\/p>\n
Gor Mahia needed a second half goal from Meddie Kagere to snatch a vital point away from Mathare United in a Kenyan Premier League match played on Sunday at Nyayo Stadium.<\/p>\n
Erick Johanna\u2019s<\/strong> 28th minute goal was all the \u2018slum boys\u2019 needed to silence K’ogalo<\/em> faithful and as things looked working for the home side, Meddie Kagere<\/strong> had other ideas as he made things even with less than fifteen minutes to go.<\/p>\n The goal was a delight of the otherwise anxious unforgiving fans, who until Sunday were confident their team will extend the gap at the top of the table by three points after Sofapaka’s slip against KCB\u00a0on Saturday.<\/p>\n As usual the Nyayo Stadium was painted green with the ‘wuon timbe’ songs filling the otherwise quiet environment. The fourteen times defending champions looked confident of victory and they started on a high as early as the sixth minute as Godfrey Walusimbi’s dangerous cross was collected by Mathare’s custodiakn Peter Odhiambo, with Olunga waiting to capitalize on the mistake.<\/p>\n After that, both team resorted to a cautious play, with Mathare looking more defensive as compared to Gor Mahia, who are playing their final match before heading to Dar es Salaam to take part in Kagame Cup.<\/p>\n The \u2018Slum Boys\u2019 custodian had to be alert in the 22nd minute to parry a goal bound effort from Abouba Sibomana, with the resulting corner fruitless. Six minutes later, Johanna put the smile on Stanley Okumbi’s face, silencing thousands of the green army, who had turned out to witness the team roar to a routine victory.<\/p>\n The hosts goalkeeper was called into action again with four minutes to the break, this time from Olunga, who looked certain to make things even. It was the last meaningful action before the teams headed for the dressing room.<\/p>\n K’ogalo<\/em> started the second half with intentions of equalizing and in the 50th minute, Walusimbi headed over after a cross from Nzigiyamana. Ali Abondo thought he had leveled the score a minute later, only to see his goal disallowed for offside.<\/p>\n With thirty minutes to go, Frank Nuttall made a game changing substitution, bringing in Enock Agwanda in place of injured Collins ‘Gattuso’ Okoth. From there own it was near misses for the champions, with Olunga, Kagere and Abondo all guilty, including the new man Agwanda, whose throws were problematic in the home side’s danger zone.<\/p>\n Finally, Kagere rose to the occasion later own in the match, as he made things even and ensuring the unbeaten run continues. As for Mathare United, the winless run stretches to seven matches, but will give themselves hopes after managing to get a point against the most in form team in the league.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t
