With 6 matches left, only 5 points seperate the top 5 teams and the country is riveted. Sofapaka, Thika United, Gor Mahia, AFC Leopards and Tusker are all in with a chance of winning it all. This is the first time ever that the top Kenyan Premier league has had such a finish.<\/p>\n<p>Only a 2 months ago, AFC Leopards looked like runaway winners. However they have faltered down the stretch and on Saturday went down to Western Stima on Saturday making the league wide open. Their fans were unhappy and caused fracas at Afraha stadium. It will be interesting to see how their chairman Wycliff Ole Magelo reacts given how he got onto his high horse during the fracas of th first leg match between Gor Mahia and AFC.<\/p>\n<p>For Gor Mahia, the players are taking a break after a tight schedule that saw them play 4 matches in 20 days. Coach Logarusic has gone out of his way to keep the players relaxed. Gor Mahia fans should follow suit by cheering the team without putting undue pressure on the players.<\/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\/race-tightens\/\"\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>The Tusker Premier League of 2012 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in history.
