 Kenyan Premier League champions Gor Mahia FC were on Saturday walloped out of the CAF Champions League after going down 0-3 to Al Ahly of Egypt in the second leg, second round preliminary match staged at the Cairo International Stadium.

Heading into this match K’Ogalo had a mountain to climb and it proved too torturous as they were turned inside out to bid farewell the competition at an early stage.

Centre-back Ramy Rabia put the hosts ahead in the 23rd minute before Wesam Abo Ali widened the advantage, nine minutes after the interval, before Taher Mohamma hit the last nail in the coffin, in stoppage time, leaving the Kenyan side licking its wounds.

The outcome saw Gor bow out 6-0 on aggregate having suffered a similar defeat in Nairobi at the Nyayo National Stadium last weekend.

Gor’s exit comes hot on the heels of that of Kenyan Police FC who were also kicked out of the CAF Confederations Cup on Friday after losing 3-1 on aggregate to Egyptian side Zamalek.

Gor and Police will now return home to plot for a better season in the domestic league with the hopes of a better performance next term, if they win the tickets to continental club football, again.
