The one sided encounter was played at a packed City Stadium on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia showed intent to score from the time kick-off whistle was blown. Danni Sserenkuma won a free kick in a promising position but Victor Ali wasted it.<\/p>\n<p>A minute later on the other end, a casual mistake by Donald Mosoti allowed experienced Francis Thairu space to shoot but the hawk eyed Fred Onyango parried\u00a0 the shot for a corner. The corner went inside the net but the referee came to Gor Mahia rescue when he ruled that Ibrahim Kitawi had pushed keeper Onyango from behind.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia continued with their attacks. In the 15th minute Donald Mosoti\u2019s header from a free kick well was dealt with well by former K\u2019Ogalo\u00a0 keeper\u00a0 Roy Kagunzi who was between the posts for the Kawangware side.<\/p>\n<p>Red hot Danni Sserenkuma opened the scoring in the 18th minute with a beautiful shot that City Stars defender Nicholas\u00a0 Ochieng\u00a0 had a slight touch of. Kevin Omondi provided Sserenkuma with the pass.<\/p>\n<p>Nine minutes later Sserenkuma\u00a0 again beat his marker again then placed his shot past the keeper for his brace that doubled Gor Mahia\u2019s advantage.<\/p>\n<p>In the 33rd minute City Star\u2019s\u00a0 Francis Thairu stole the ball in midfield then set-up Justus Basweti who fired off target.<\/p>\n<p>The other close chance fell to Gor Mahia through Victor Ali who rifled a shot from distance but despite City Stars keeper spilling the ball, no Gor striker was in place thus allowing the defenders time to clear the threat.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia\u00a0 led 2-0 at half time..<\/p>\n<p>Ten minutes after the break, an advancing Danni Ssereknkuma missed a clear opportunity after\u00a0 Rama Salim did well to beat two City Stars defender\u00a0 then send a cross.<\/p>\n<p>A minute past the one hour mark substitute City Star\u2019s George Mwangi who had come on for Francis Thairu wasted a great chance\u00a0 with only the keeper to beat.<\/p>\n<p>Rama Salim made it 3-0 in the 63rd minute with a solo effort. He rounded the keeper then calmly slotted the ball into the empty net.<\/p>\n<p>Satisfied with the result, Gor Mahia coach Logarusic brought in Edwin Lavatsa and Itubu Imbem for the goal scorers Rama Salim and Dann Sserenkuma.<\/p>\n<p>The pair had an immediate impact but Itumbu Imbem\u2019s goal after a great effort\u00a0 from Lavatsa was ruled offside.<\/p>\n<p>Edwin Lavatsa showed some class with a great move and goal two minutes to the end of regulation time to compound city Stars misery.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gor Mahia :<\/strong> Fred Onyango,David Owino,Chris Wekesa,Donald Mosoti,Ivans Anguyo,Anthony Akumu,Kevin Omondi (Moses Otieno 64) ,Joseph Njuguna,Dan Sserenkuma (Edwin Lavatsa), Rama Salim (Itubu Imbem) , Victor Abondo<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unused Subs<\/strong>: Wycliff Kasaya,Solomon Nasio,Musa Mohammed,Oscar Mbugua<\/p>\n<p><strong>City Stars:<\/strong> Ronny Kagunzi, Mark Ongwae (Peter Ashango), John Amboko, Nicholas Ochieng,Arthur Museve , Boniface Onyango, Dennis OKumu, Justus Basweti, Ibrahim Kitawi (David Kingatua 67), Francis Thairu (George Mwangi) , Duncan Owiti.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unused Subs<\/strong>:Fredrick Majani, Simon Ogutu,Alex Achoki, Joel Shebuliba.<\/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-blast-city-stars\/\"\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 michezoafrika.com A brace from Danni Sserenkuma and one goal each from Rama Salim and Edwin Lavatsa extended Gor<\/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-768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/768","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=768"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/768\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
