FKF Premier League champions Gor Mahia were handed a surprising 4-2 defeat by relegation-threatened FC Talanta in a thrilling mid-week clash at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos.

The lead was short-lived as Gor Mahia attacking midfielder Austin Odhiambo found an equalizer just two minutes later restoring hope among K'Ogalo fans.

Nevertheless, Talanta swiftly regained the lead in the 37th minute and managed to maintain this edge until halftime, despite multiple missed opportunities from Gor Mahia.

In the second half, Talanta extended their lead, capitalizing on their opportunities at the hour mark before Alfred Tanui completed his hat-trick with a fourth goal in the 90th minute.
