Gor Mahia were held by a resilient Murang’a Seal side in a tense FKF Premier League clash on Sunday afternoon.
Murang’a Seal’s defence frustrated Gor Mahia in an FKF Premier League match at the SportPesa Arena in Murang’a on Sunday afternoon as the game ended 0-0.
The home side made a strong start to the game, with their first shot on goal coming in the fifth minute. A short corner-kick routine resulted in Joseph Irungu trying his luck from the edge of the box, but his effort was well saved by the Gor Mahia goalkeeper, Gad Mathews Otieno.
Six minutes later, Dennis Munyovi worked himself into space 20 yards out, but the Murang’a Seal striker fired his volley inches over the crossbar.
