Gor Mahia were forced to share the spoils with a stubborn Ulinzi Stars as ‘Mitoma’ registered his first FKF Premier League assist in Nairobi City Stars’ slim win over Bandari
Gor Mahia dropped points for a second successive match when they were held to a goalless draw by Ulinzi Stars at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos on Saturday.
With the week dominated by news of top striker Benson Omala’s failed move to Algeria, coach Johnathan McKinstry sought to keep his marksman out of the spotlight by starting him on the bench.
However, K’Ogalo lacked bite and cutting edge in attack as Ulinzi frustrated them in the first half when they failed to test the Soldiers’ resolve.

FOOTBALL Benson Omala's agent faults Gor Mahia after aborted move to JS Sauora
Agent alleges Gor Mahia FC sabotaged Benson Omala's transfer to JS Saoura, citing greed and delayed paperwork in failed deal.
McKinstry would introduce Omala for the second half when he came on for Patrick Sibomana but Ulinzi kept them at bay for most of the encounter.
The lively Austin Odhiambo came close to breaking the deadlock when he hit the woodwork in the 58th minute but the Ulinzi defence stayed resolute.
K’Ogalo fans, who included club patron former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, kept pushing the team but it proved difficult as both sides shared the spoils.

FKFPL Bandari head coach John Baraza seeks large fan-turnout ahead of Nairobi City Stars clash
Baraza has urged Bandari fans to turn up in large numbers against fellow title challengers Nairobi City Stars as the club seeks to close the gap on Gor Mahia.
Victory saw City Stars move to second place on the table with 37 points, ending their two-game winless run.
In the early kick off, Kenya Police and Posta Rangers played out a goalless draw in Machakos.
Chances were few and far between the two sides who had come into the match on the back of good runs but it is Police who will feel more disappointed as they had the better chances but failed to utilise them in what would have been their fifth straight league win.
