Three-star Gor stop Homeboyz to go 14 clear

Belligerent Gor Mahia continued their emphatic march towards an unprecedented 17th Kenya Premier League (KPL) title with a 3-1 win over Kakamega Homeboyz in a match staged at the Moi Stadium in Kisumu on Monday afternoon.

The win, moved the defending champions 14 points clear of second-placed Bandari with two games in hand.

Burundian Francis Mustapha struck the opening in the 32nd minute following poor defending by Homeboyz, before  Innocent Wafula made it 2-0  four minutes later.

Experienced Kevin ‘Ade’ Omondi scored in the death to seal a the comfortable three points, at a rain-soaked Moi Stadium.

In the second half, Homeboyz came back stronger and they halved the deficit in the 72nd minute, Benjamin Oketch scoring a consolation from a free-kick.

K’Ogalo who sit top of the log with 62 points will clinch a historic 17th KPL gong at the Moi Sports Centre Kasarani on August 25 if they beat arch rivals AFC Leopards, if they will have won the preceding two ties.
