Published on September 17, 2019, Gor Mahia's poor away record in continental football continues to haunt the club after they went down 4-1 to USM Algier of Algeria in their first-round CAF Champions League match on Sunday night.
USM Algier got goals from Mohammed Mefta and Zakaria Bencha, who scored a brace each, while Keneth Muguna's late penalty was the only consolation for Gor Mahia.
The team faces a daunting task to turn around the result in the return match in a bid to make it to the group stages of the tournament.
It was not, however, a surprise result considering the team's poor away record at this level since 2017.
Should they go past USM Algier, which remains a big task, Gor Mahia will need to fix their away record, something that looks to be related to their chaotic travel arrangements.
