On Sunday, July 14, 2019, Gor Mahia completed a clean sweep in Group 'D' of the ongoing Cecafa tournament in Rubavu, defeating 10-man Kikosi Maalum Cha Kuzuia Magendo from Zanzibar 1-0.
Eric Ombija scored the only goal of the game late on, heading home a Hashim Sempala cross past KMKM keeper Nassor Abdalla.
With this result, Gor Mahia finished its group matches with maximum points from three matches against KMKM, DR Congo's AS Maniema, and Djibouti's AS Port.
Coach Hassan Oktay made a host of changes, resting first-teamers Boniface Oluoch, Charles Momanyi, Kenneth Muguna, Haruna Shakava, and Nicholas Kipkurui, and introducing new signings David Mapigano, Elvis Ronack, Eluid Lokuwam, and Tobias Otieno.
"We are playing very many games in a short spell and I have to refresh the squad to avoid injuries. We are hoping to win this tournament," said Oktay.
