Gor Mahia's hopes of making it to the group stages of the Caf Champions League were dashed on September 29, 2019, after a 6-1 aggregate loss to Algeria's USM Algers.

The Kenyan champions lost the return leg 2-0 at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, and will now have to contend with a place in the Caf Confederation Cup group stages if they win their playoff match.

USM Algers' dangerman Ahimen Mahious masterminded K'Ogalo's exit with a brace, including an impressive header just four minutes into the game.

Despite creating nine chances in the first half, none of them could trouble visiting custodian Smail Mansouri, who kept a clean sheet.
