Gor out to close gap on Posta with Tusker trip

Gor Mahia FC will have their sights on reeling in the league leaders Posta Rangers when they travel to Tusker FC for this weekend’s highlight FKF Premier League clash.

Team Manager Victor Nyaoro says the club must approach the game that is scheduled for Sunday in Kasarani with caution, acknowledging Tusker as a competitive opponent.

‘’Every team goes to the pitch to collect maximum points. We know Tusker is a competitive side and so we will approach the match cautiously,’’ said Nyaoro.

The reigning champions Gor are currently placed second on the league standings, four points adrift of leaders Posta Rangers who are at the helm with 16 points after six outings.

The two leading teams are also the only unbeaten teams so far with Posta Rangers managing five wins and a draw while Gor have won three times and drawn as many times.

Gor Mahia go into this match in high spirit having beaten traditional rivals AFC Leopards while Tusker enter the game from a dispiriting 1-0 loss against Shabana FC.

The two teams last met in May 2023 when the match ended in a barren draw.

In an earlier interview, coach Jonathan MC’Kinstry admitted that the league is competitive and as Gor, they intend to take a match at a time knowing the might of the other teams in the league.

 ‘’All the teams in the league have equal chances, and all we need to do is to know every other opponent we are facing. My boys are determined to do their level best in any given assignment.’’

The Brewers have so far won twice, drawn twice and lost in two outings with a total of zero goal difference having scored four and conceded as many goals.

Coach Robert Matano will also be desperate to get Tusker firing again after the club’s supporters turned on him in the aftermath of their defeat at home to Shabana as they demanded a turnaround.
