With the stakes so high, Olunga who played for Gor in 2015, wants K’Ogalo to finish the job early against Juma’s limping Ingwe to earn the three points a well as the derby bragging rights.

FKFPL Mashemeji derby frenzy takes over Nairobi as Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards fans paint city in rivalry colours
Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards fans transform Nairobi into a colourful spectacle, anticipating the Mashemeji Derby clash with spirited celebrations.
“Mashemeji derby inaanza what time? (Mashemeji derby starts at what time?) @OfficialGMFC mapemaaa ndio best (Gor Mahia, better finish the job early),” the Al Duhail striker posted on X.
Gor, who have won two and drawn three of their opening five Football Kenya Federation Premier League matches, know form does not count on derby day hence the need to be at their brilliant best at Kasarani Stadium.
Olunga had an impressive 2015 campaign with Gor Mahia, finishing the season as the club's top scorer in the league with 19 goals to help the side win a record 15th league title without losing a single match.
He was deservedly named the 2015 Kenyan Premier League Player of the Year before he left Kenya for Sweden where he signed for Djurgardens IF.
Gor Mahia had dominated Leopards for seven years before Ingwe ended the hoodoo in May with the 2-1 victory at Nyayo Stadium.
