Gor Mahia players seem to have started their title celebrations early given how they enjoyed their victory against Shabana FC in Kisumu on Saturday.
K’Ogalo landed in Kisumu on Saturday morning and flew back to Nairobi with three more points after Benson Omala’s goal settled the ‘Nyanza Derby’ as they won 1-0.
Following the win, K’Ogalo players showed their dancing skills as they celebrated the win in the best way they know how.

Gor Mahia coach McKinstry praises charges for spirited display in win over Shabana despite suffering jetlag
Gor Mahia players barely slept a wink on Friday night as they had to fly to Kisumu very early Saturday morning before their clash against Shabana.
Goal scorer Omala, Boniface Omondi and Sylvester Owino were among those who displaced their other talents as they hummed and danced to Luo gospel song Kiria Gi Loria by Amiso Thwango.
More of this will be expected if Gor Mahia silence KCB in midweek and then collect maximum points next weekend against Muhoroni Youth as it will wrap up a record-extending 21st league title.
There was more cause for a celebratory jig for Omala who had missed a penalty earlier in the match but atoned for the mistake by slamming home a rebound after the Shabana goalkeeper had spilled Austin Odhiambo’s freekick.
Omala’s strike saw him increase his tally for the season to 15, making him the league’s leading scorer with five matches remaining.
“Shabana came with everything they had. I thought in the first half, we created a couple of really good chances and got in behind them a few times,” said Gor Mahia coach Johnathan McKinstry.
“Obviously, we missed a penalty which is a bit unfortunate, but the Shabana goalkeeper made a couple of great saves from Benson and we also had one flash over the bar.”
