And just in time for the 2017 KPL season which starts next weekend. The last two matches have involved impressive wins over Muhoroni Youth and a Tusker team that had been in continental competition.<\/p>\n<p>Last season Gor Mahia lost in the DSTV Super Cup to Bandari and it was a harbinger of bad things to come as the club started the season poorly. This time it appears coach Ze Maria has found the winning formula.<\/p>\n<p>Skipper Musa Mohamed hailed the win over Tusker<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a really good motivation for the coming league season. It will give us more time to prepare. For now I don\u2019t think we lack anything because everyone is ready to play. What we need more is team work and determination,\u201d Mohammed told <em>Citizen Sport.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia were the better side on Sunday and the Tusker coach George Nsimbe admitted as much in a post match interview as did his veteran defender James Situma.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGenerally the match was good and you know when two teams play, one must win, Gor displayed a great game but we shall focus on the upcoming season now&#8221; said Situma to Citizen Sports.<\/p>\n<p>Gor\u00a0 Mahia tactician Ze Maria for his part says the win provided motivation and the team is now ready to challenge for the title.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was not an easy game, we were playing the champions but at the end of the day we managed to lift the trophy. It is a motivation to us, with the season almost starting. Teams are well prepared to challenge for the league title but I feel we will also have a say. It will not be easy at all,&#8221; he said 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-gaining-momentum-at-the-right-time\/\"\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>After what looked like a dismal pre-season, Gor Mahia appear to have hit their stride.
