'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.
Talanta’s defensive structure stifled Gor Mahia’s attacking rhythm, frustrating the record champions throughout the second half.
The team managed to slow the tempo and expertly run down the clock to secure all three points, boosting their chances of survival in the top flight.
The result lifted Talanta to 29 points from 28 games, sitting 14th on the FKF Premier League table. With just seven matches left in the season, the win could prove pivotal in their bid to avoid relegation for a third consecutive season.
Meanwhile, Gor Mahia’s troubles continue to mount. Already rocked by reports of a rift within the technical bench — including head coach Sinisa Mihic’s ongoing feud with his assistants Michael Nam and Zedekiah ‘Zico’ Otieno — the loss dealt a blow to their pursuit of back-to-back league titles.
