Fresh hope for Mihic as Omalla resumes duty at Gor

Gor Mahia Head Coach Siniša Mihic has voiced his delight following the return of Benson Omalla, whose extra time goal against Bandari FC sealed their quarter final slot in the ongoing FKF Cup.

Alpha Onyango broke the deadlock at the stroke of 90th minute, before Omalla added the second.

Mihic managed to keep the game tight despite Bandari’s determination, before unleashing Omalla late who added the impetus they needed to crack the hosts.

Mihic was full of praise for the striker and confident about the road ahead.

“We know who Benson. I heard about him, about his 20 goals in a season, so I think now we have a really, really good team.  We have good players on the bench, so I think we are on a good trajectory to repeat our history as the league champions and win the Cup title,” observed Mihic.

Omalla left Gor Mahia to join Lebanese side Safa SC a season ago, but returned home following tense political unrest that has been ongoing in the country, rendering his stay at the club untenable. 

He however had to wait until last week to be cleared by FIFA to rejoin Gor officially. 

With the FKF Premier League title firmly within reach and their momentum in the Cup promising, Gor Mahia are now brimming with belief.

They are set to face Kariobangi Sharks in the quarter-finals as they continue chasing silverware on two fronts.
