Gor Mahia went five points clear atop the Kenyan Premier League table on Monday afternoon after beating Nzoia Sugar 2-1 at the Moi Stadium in Kisumu.
Nzoia took an early lead after Hansel Ochieng beat goalkeeper Fredrick Odhiambo with a second minute penalty but their lead only lasted five minutes as Francis Mustapha levelled matters when he guided home Dennis Oliech’s cross.
Defender Geoffrey Ochieng was the unlikely hero for Gor, heading home into an empty net after Benson Mangala failed to deal with George ‘Blackberry’ Odhiambo’s cross in the 88th minute.
It was Gor’s second league victory in just two days and their fifth on the trot, taking their points tally to 42 points after 18 rounds, five more than Sofapaka FC who have played one extra game.
By Wednesday evening Gor could be eight points clear they should they beat Sony Sugar at the same venue.
