Two goal hero Kagere with two assist man Wafula<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Gor Mahia returned to league action in devastating fashion beating KCB senseless with a score of 6 goals to 1. KCB had very few answers for a rampant Gor Mahia who looked determined to put their CECAFA disappointment behind them.<\/p>\n

It was Michael Olunga, the CECAFA cup top scorer who was first on the score-sheet in the 16th minute.\u00a0 With his typical calmness and poise, he placed the ball home a cross from Godfrey Walusimbi. Walusimbi had in turn received a pass from Wafula who won a midfield battle, beat a defender before passing to Walusimbi.<\/p>\n

Rwandese striker Meddie Kagere then doubled the score with a well taken volley from inside the penalty box with a brilliantly taken volley in the 35th minute.<\/p>\n

Kagere may as well be credited with a hat-trick. It was his effort that forced KCB defender Mark Odhiambo to put the ball in his own net for an own goal. Kagere deftly lost his marker and directed a cross towards the goal which Odhiambo deflected into his own net for Gor Mahia’s third goal.<\/p>\n

At this point KCB came back into the game and gave Gor Mahia some scary moments. The defense looked a tad shaky.\u00a0 KCB took advantage of this shakiness. Former Gor Mahia striker Mungai Kiongera pulled one back when he converted John Odhiambo’s cross.<\/p>\n

But Gor Mahia were not done. Innocent Wafula who had a superb game, had a mazy run down the right flank, then he crossed for Kagere to score his second in the 70th minute with a clinical tap in. Wafula was so lively that he could be credited with man of the match honours. He terrorized KCB defenders all afternoon. The score was now 4-1.<\/p>\n

Then it was Michael Olunga’s turn to do the spadework. He fed Khalid Aucho with a neat cross. The Ugandan midfielder made no mistake, blasting the ball home for Gor Mahia’s 5th goal.<\/p>\n

Burly striker Enock Agwanda who had come on as a substitute, sealed the score with a thunderous drive after beating two defenners.<\/p>\n

All in all it was a good afternoon for Gor Mahia. It is the biggest score in the 2015 Premier league this far. Kagere had a superb performance and scored yet another spectacular goal whose video is likely to go viral. And with Tusker and Ulinzi faltering, Gor Mahia have now pushed their lead to 8 points with 3 games in hand. Their goal difference is a massive 34 which is at least 15 goals better than the next best team.<\/p>\n

After the match coach Nuttall said the win was due to his team’s ability to focus.<\/p>\n

“I asked the team to bring their focus back to the local league and today they showed that the focus is where it is supposed to be”, said Nuttall after the match.<\/p>\n

On hand to watch Gor Mahia raid the bankers vault was Frank Nuttall’s daughter, son and wife who were welcomed by Jaro Soja and other fans.<\/p>\n
