Gor Mahia announce intent with second straight win thrashing Posta Rangers

Stephen Awino 19:30 - 19.10.2024

Gor Mahia came into the game on high confidence having thrashed Mathare United 4-0 in their league opener and took the game away from Posta Rangers.

Gor Mahia thrashed Posta Rangers 3-0 in their second FKF Premier League fixture at the Machakos Stadium on Saturday.

Head coach Leo Neiva made 5 changes to the side that sunk Mathare United 4-0 in their opening fixture.

Caleb Omondi came in for the absent Gad Mathews in goal with Levin Joseph coming in for Geoffrey Ochieng in the only change to the backline.

The Brazilian went for nearly almost new-look midfield with Enock Morrison being the only one to retain his position as Omondi Boniface and Juma Lawrence came in for Kapen Samuel and Onyango Alpha.

Austin Odhiambo and Christopher Ochieng maintained their place in the frontline with Wangai Bryson coming in for Shariff Musa.

The defending champions started well imposing themselves on the match with a continued dominance in possession in the early opening minutes.

Their dominance soon paid off when Wangayi pounced on a deflected shot on the edge of the box to unleash a venomous shot that the Mailers shotstopper could not keep out to hand K'Ogalo a 1-0 lead.

Rangers nearly leveled the score in the 24th minute when Rangers captain, Caleb Olilo nearly caught Omondi off-guard with a long shot strike but the shot stopper reacted in time with cat-like agility to pary the shot over the bar.

Austin Odhiambo and super substitute Gideon Bendeka were on target to hand the defending champions 3-0 win and climb up the log standings
