Gor Mahia boss Charles Akonnor has explained what worries him following their underwhelming 1-1 draw with Ulinzi Stars.
Gor Mahia head coach Charles Akonnor has admitted that his biggest concern heading into this weekend’s clash against Kenya Police is his team’s lack of ruthlessness in front of goal — a recurring issue that has cost the record champions crucial points early in the season.
Despite assembling a talented squad brimming with attacking options, K’Ogalo have struggled to consistently convert their chances, drawing two of their opening fixtures in matches they largely dominated.
Last season, Gor Mahia’s forward line was among the league’s most feared, powered by Benson Omalla, Chris Ochieng and Congolese striker Gideon Bendeka. However, that unit has since been dismantled. Omalla sealed a move to Visakha FC in Cambodia, while Bendeka joined Kakamega Homeboyz, the reigning Mozzart Bet Cup champions.

In response, Gor turned to the Ghanaian market, bringing in Ebenezer Adukwaw from Bechem United — who previously featured for KF Trepça 89 in Albania — and George Amonno from Karela United. The club also came close to signing Ugandan forward Mohamed Shaban Jagason, but the deal collapsed due to a reported disagreement over the signing fee.
With the new-look frontline still finding its rhythm, Akonnor has alternated between Adukwaw and Felix Oluoch in various attacking combinations. Yet, the chemistry and composure in front of goal remain a work in progress.
Some Situations Have Not Favored Us

That shortcoming was evident in last weekend’s 1–1 draw with Ulinzi Stars at Kasarani Stadium, where Gor Mahia created several gilt-edged opportunities but failed to put the game to bed.
“Some situations should have gone in our favour, but they did not, and that was a bit frustrating,” Akonnor said after the match. “The opponent played the same way (midweek fixture, just like us), so that is not an excuse. We just were not fresh enough to dominate in the first half and in the attack.”
The Ghanaian tactician, who took charge earlier this season, was quick to highlight that the team’s struggles are being addressed on the training ground.
“It is not just about this match against Ulinzi that we missed chances, but we are still working on improving our composure and being more clinical in front of goal,” he added. “There were a lot of positives, especially how we defended and created chances. The only negative is that we did not convert them into goals. But overall, the positives outweighed the negatives.”
Gor Mahia will look to rediscover their cutting edge when they face Kenya Police FC — the reigning FKF Premier League champions — on Sunday, November 9, at Nyayo National Stadium, in what promises to be a pivotal test of their attacking resolve.
