Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Gor Mahia’s hopes of charging for a 20th title suffered a huge setback following their 2-o loss to Nairobi City Stars at Nyayo Stadium on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Ezekiel Odera scored in the 38th minute before Anthony Kimani’s 70th-minute effort sealed K’Ogalo’s fate.<\/p>\n

The outcome underlined K’Ogalo’s declining fortunes after they suffered a similar fate at the hands of runaway leaders Kakamega Homeboyz at Bukhungu Stadium a week ago.<\/p>\n

The two back-to-back defeats brought a sudden end to Gor’s unbeaten run that had seen them take command of the KPL log for the better part of the new season.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had an opportunity to bag maximum points in this match but some costly errors scuttled our efforts. Those are not the kind of goals I expect us to concede if we are serious about our title ambitions,\u201d said a visibly dejected Harrison.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat’s water under the bridge now. Hopefully, we will rectify the shortcomings we observed in today’s match when we meet for the next training session,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

As Harrison was busy counting his losses, his opposite number Nicholas Muyoti extolled his charges for bouncing back from their heartbreaking 3-1 loss to Kenya Police in their last encounter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is certainly a big win, considering Gor are a household name in local football. I’m glad we got our script all correct. The boys most certainly deserve a pat on the back for this marvelous performance,\u201d said Muyoti.<\/p>\n

Following Thursday’s results, Gor are now seventh on the log with 18 points while City Stars have ascended to third with 20.<\/p>\n

Champions Tusker rallied from a goal down to thump Mathare United 4-1 in an entertaining Kenyan Premier League encounter at Ruaraka grounds on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Tanzanian forward Ibrahim Joshua was the toast for the brewers, netting a hat-trick in the five-goal thriller.<\/p>\n

Clifton Alwanga had stunned the brewers with a scintillating third-minute strike but that was all Mathare went home with after the humiliating defeat.<\/p>\n

Joshua drew the hosts level from the spot in the spot seven minutes later.<\/p>\n

Rodgers Ouma then made a dash past his markers down the left channel and teed up Ibrahim Joshua who sidestepped his markers to power into the area for the thunderbolt.<\/p>\n

Debutantes Kenya Police held Posta Rangers to a two-all draw at Thika Stadium.<\/p>\n

Bidco United pipped Wazito 1-0 in the second match of the day at the same venue. At Utalii grounds, KCB squandered a 2-0 lead to share spoils with a rejuvenated Nzoia Sugar side.<\/p>\n
