It was a devastating loss to CNaPS. Gor Mahia appeared not to have studied their opponents and often appeared too listless to defend against the marauding wingers from CNaPS. But against Chemelil they will be facing a familiar opponent. One that they handily beat in 2015, winning 3-1 and 4-1 in the first and second leg respectively.<\/p>\n<p>But this is a different Gor Mahia side. Gone is Michael Olunga, Ali Abondo and Meddie Kagere. Gor Mahia will now need to depend on Jacob Keli and Enock Agwanda and George Odhiambo whose performance on Saturday was unimpressive. Both Keli and Blackberry were substituted. Fans will be hoping that Keli does not turn out to be another Ezekiel Odera type. Odera was signed from KCB after having been the second leading scorer in the 2010 league. He was expected to fit in the shoes of Blackberry who had just left for Denmark. By the end of the first leg he had only scored one goal. He was a key reason why Gor Mahia&#8217;s 2011 season was disappointing.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless Keli has proven that he has the temperament to play under pressure as he has scored crucial goals for the national team. He also scored against St George of Ethiopia.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for Kogalo fans, newly signed Jacque Tuyisenge will not be available either as he is injured.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He traveled back to Rwanda to nurse his injury, a groin injury but we understand it is not a serious one. He is expected back anytime soon and if all goes well he will start light training sessions.The team needs him now, but we are again worried if he will adapt quickly and help us,&#8221; said an official to goal.com<\/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-kickoff-league-campaign-2\/\"\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 will try to put aside their dismal start to the season when they take on Chemelil Sugar at<\/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-8048","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8048","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=8048"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8048\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8054,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8048\/revisions\/8054"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8048"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8048"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8048"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
