Five-star Gor rip Thika apart to go top
Gor Mahia FC put added gloss to a blissful four days when they tore apart Thika United 5-2 at the Kenyatta Stadium to go top of the the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) standings.
The domestic giants showed little sign of hangovers from a week in which they became the first Kenyan club to reach the group stages of a CAF competition as they turned on style to blow Thika away.
Ivorian Ephrem Guikan and substitutes Samuel Onyango, Francis Kahata and Meddie Kagere were on target for the 16-time champions, scoring one each with Thika keeper helping them add one.
Eugine Mukangula and Makasaida Mata reduced the humiliation with their one each.
Despite resting most first team players for the clash, Dylan Kerr’s charges showed just why they are shining beyond the Kenyan boarders with classy display especially in the second stanza.
Goalkeeper Shaban Odhoji, defender Charles Momanyi, wing-back Innocent Wafula, midfielders Cercidy Okeyo, Guikan, Kevin Omondi and Raphael Asudi were all started, the later making his first start in the league at Gor.
K’Ogalo now regain their top position in the league, with three matches in hand while Thika languish in relegation zone at 17th, boasting of only nine points.
The win also, to some extent, wiped the green army tears after losing three of their members in a tragic road carnage at Mlolongo along Nairobi-Mombasa road headiding to the match.
