\nK’Ogalo came into the match knowing three points will put them closer to rivals Tusker FC, who were held to a 1-1 draw by Western Stima on Saturday, with Posta Rangers aiming for their first win in the second leg.<\/p>\n

Under pressure duo of Meddie Kagere and Jacques Tuyisenge were given another opportunity by coach Ze Maria to prove their doubters wrong against the second best defensive side in the league.<\/p>\n

It took several minutes for the both sides to settle down as Tuyisenge threatened earlier on notably in the sixth minute, with Joakins Atudo being forced to commit a foul to stop him. The latter had to be alert once again in the eleventh minute to stop Meddie Kagere, who had been played in by Francis Kahata.<\/p>\n

In the first half it was Gor Mahia offensive players against Atudo, who was solid to stop attacks from his side. The closest Rangers came was a free-kick just outside the area which was taken by Atudo after Collins Nettoh had been fouled by Erick Ouma.<\/p>\n

Despite attacking and pinning the hosts to their own half, it still remained goalless after the end of 45 minutes. In the second half, it was the Green Army again, who came back strongly with Kagere winning a corner after the restart, which unfortunately bore no fruits. In the 51st minute, Godfrey Walusimbi initiated an attack which was quickly cut by the opponents.<\/p>\n

Rangers reacted by making several attempts with Titus Achesa releasing a fierce shot in the 55th minute which was unfortunately way off the mark. In a bid to increase his team’s attacks, Gearson Likonoh was introduced by coach Zedekiah ‘Zico’ Otieno in place of John Nairuka.<\/p>\n

Enock Agwanda was introduced in the 61st minute but Rangers decided to play cautiously, relying on counter attacks and at long last denied the champions an opportunity to reduce the gap between them and the brewers.<\/p>\n
