Gor Mahia held by Sofapaka in league clash

The visitors  ( Gor) took a late lead  in the 68th minute through Joshua Onyango as he nodded Austine Odhiambo's well lofted free kick past Sofapaka's custodian  Edward Olak. 

Batoto ba Mungu would however respond in the dying  minutes  through substitute Douglas  Koech in the 91st minute to break The Green Army's hearts  who had looked to close the gap on League leaders Police Fc. 

The 21 time champions, who were without head coach Sinica Mihic who could only watch from the stands as he served his one game match suspension started  on a high, with talisman  Austine Odhiambo' s first shot of the game parried away by Olak  to keep K'Ogalo at bay. 

Samuel Onyango  was found unmarked at the  far post  after a well timed forward dash but could not apply the finish to match  it,  as he saw his first time placement go wide off the post. 

Sofapaka  would have their moment in the first half as Bramwel Simiyu saw his shot hit the woodwork after  Rodgers  Kipkemoi's shot attempt rebounded to him  but could not apply  the needed  finish.  

Fan favourite Benson Omala thought he had given Gor the lead minutes to the break when  he towered past the Sofapaka  defense to head in Lawrence Ochieng's cross at the back post. K'ogalo's joy would however be short lived as the Omala  was deemed offside by the assistant referee to close out an eventful first half. 

Austine Odhiambo's free kick in the beginning of the second half hit the crossbar after Olak's clearance attempt as K'ogalo kept knocking.  

Omala once again had the ball in the net but was again deemed offside, much to the frustrations of the K'ogalo faithful  who as always  had travelled to watch their side . 

The pendulum of good luck would finally  swing to their side when Austine Odhiambo's well taken free kick was nodded home by Joshua Onyango who had risen highest among the tree of defenders  to give his side the much needed advantage.  

In a desperate attempt to salvage  at least a point, Sofapaka  tactician Ezekiel Akwana sought out the services  of the silky Edward Omondi  who danced  and slithered  his way past two K'ogalo defenders to set up fellow substitute Douglas Koech who pounced to square it 1-1 in the 91st minute.  

The dejected K'ogalo remain third on the log , two points adrift off League leaders Police who secured a 1-0 win yesterday against  Ulinzi Stars at the Ulinzi Complex.
