Gor Mahia granted license as CAF Champions League preliminary round draw date nears
With few days remaining until the CAF Champions League draw the Kenyan giants have been granted a license to participate after overcoming previous licensing hurdles.
Sharks dominated proceedings right from the off and they had no trouble in creating goal-scoring chances.
However, putting them away proved far more problematic, with the 2018 champions missing a flurry of opportunities.
John Mark Makwatta was particularly guilty, missing a free header in the second minute and a glaring chance right in front of goal, while Victor Ngume also sent a shot off the top of the crossbar when he should have at least tested the goalkeeper.
