FOOTBALL Numbers don’t lie: Why Gor Mahia’s Benson Omala is the best striker in East Africa
The 21-year-old’s tally dwarfs what the top scorers in Tanzania, Uganda and Ethiopia have managed, highlighting his status as one of the region’s best forwards.
Kaddu, Kagimu, and Lwasa were all in action in the previous Gor Mahia outing, where the side beat Ulinzi Stars 2-0 last Sunday.
In fact, Lwasa has started most matches for the trio for Jonathan McKinstry's side in 2023, meaning Micho decided his performances needed to be better.
