I also feel that the referee should have added more than just five minutes at the end of regular time. Thika were always on the ground during the second half. They didn\u2019t play at all, just wasting time. I think we played only 35 minutes in the second half.\u201d he said to the KPL website.<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0 a post match interview, Ze Maria had indicated that he thinks small teams play their best and put in their best effort against Gor Mahia. But the Brazilian tactician is yet to come up with a formula to avoid losing points against bottom feeder clubs. This season, Kogalo have lost to Western Stima, Mathare United and almost lost to bottom side Thika United.<\/p>\n<h2>Gor Mahia to play Rangers at Afraha<\/h2>\n<p>This Sunday&#8217;s league match against Posta Rangers will be played at Afraha stadium.

The Gor Mahia striker accused Muyoti of punching him during the melee that involved players from both teams.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I even do not know where that came from. In my capacity as a coach, there are things I definitely cannot do. I have been a player for long and the experience plus my reputation cannot allow me to do such.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When that incident happened, we went to solve it, not to fuel it and I wonder why he is raising such against me, but I think it is because of the pressure,&#8221; said Muyoti 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-to-play-rangers-at-afraha\/\"\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 coach Ze Maria thinks a combination of bad luck and poor refereeing cost Gor Mahia two points against<\/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-9681","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9681","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=9681"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9681\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9684,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9681\/revisions\/9684"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9681"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9681"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9681"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
