Struggling FC Talanta added on to Gor Mahia's recent woes by handing them a shock 1-0 win on Thursday afternoon.
Gor Mahia’s recent off-pitch issues could not help them avoid an embarrassing defeat to struggling FC Talanta in an FKF Premier League clash that took place at the Dandora Stadium on Thursday afternoon.
Amid reports of a fall out between the two, Sinisa Mihic, who still had to watch the game from the stands considering the Croat is serving a three match ban, opted to start Austin Odhiambo at the heart of midfield.
First Half
K’Ogalo started the match with intensity, clearly eager to narrow Tusker’s lead at the top of the table to just one point, with only seven rounds remaining.

'I Would Rob a Bank for Jose' - Benni McCarthy on How Mourinho Helped Him Heal from a Painful Past
Benni McCarthy has revealed how Jose Mourinho restored his love for football and helped him heal from past struggles, earning his lifelong loyalty.
Bryson Wangai’s sixth-minute brilliance on the left flank nearly unlocked the game when he found Benson Omala, who teed up Odhiambo. But the midfielder’s shot lacked venom and went straight into the arms of Talanta’s keeper, Brandon Obiero.
Gor Mahia continued to create chances and came close again in the 24th minute. Kapen’s low delivery was parried by Obiero into Wangai’s path, whose smart pass set up Alpha Onyango—but Obiero recovered to deny Gor again.
Talanta, however, had other ideas. Completely against the run of play, Emmanuel Osoro struck in the 38th minute with a brilliant half volley from the left flank, scoring his 13th goal of the season.

Harambee Stars Coach Benni McCarthy Snubbed as South African Tactician Gets Nod for Orlando Pirates Job
Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy has been in the news lately, being linked to the Orlando Pirates job as a potential Jose Riveiro successor.
That made it goals in both legs against Gor Mahia for the red-hot striker and placed him within touching distance of joint top scorers Ryan Ogam and Moses Shumah.
Just before the break, Gor almost equalised through another Austin-Alpha combination, but Alpha could only blaze his effort over the bar.
Looking to turn things around in the second half, Gor Mahia made two changes—bringing on Paul Ochuoga and academy graduate Bryton Onyona for Wangai and Kapen.
Still, luck continued to elude them. At the hour mark, Austin Odhiambo came inches away from restoring parity with a stunning free kick, only for it to rattle the crossbar and bounce out of play.
