Both Gor Mahia and Kenya Police FC won their rescheduled catch-up fixtures yesterday to move up the league table. Gor Mahia dominated Ulinzi Stars winning their match 3-0 at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos. K’Ogalo went 2-0 up in the first half with goals by Samuel Kapen and Rooney Onyango. Austin Odhiambo, the league’s reigning MVP scored from the penalty spot to secure the win for Gor Mahia, their first in 3 games, and ease the pressure on caretaker coach Zedekiah Zico Otieno.
Earlier in the same venue, Alvin Mangeni’s 69th-minute goal was enough to give Kenya Police FC a hard-fought win over Talanta FC. The win extended the law enforcer’s unbeaten streak to 5 matches as new coach Étienne Ndayiragije enjoys a good start to life in Kenya.
Gor Mahia now has 21 points, just three behind league leaders KCB, while Police moves up to third with 23 points. Ulinzi’s winless run extends to seven matches, leaving them in 17th place with 13 points.
