Gor Mahia's Unbeaten Run Ends at Hands of Mathare United ¶
Mathare United ended Gor Mahia's five-match unbeaten run in the Kenyan Premier League with a 1-0 win on November 6, 2019.
The match, played at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos, saw Mathare United's substitute Daniel Otieno score the winning goal with three minutes left to stoppage time.
Otieno's late header past Gor Mahia's goalkeeper Mapigano sealed the win for Mathare United, handing Gor Mahia their second loss in under two weeks.
Gor Mahia's defeat means they will go into the Mashemeji Derby sitting second and a point behind league leaders Tusker, who have 16 points but with two more matches left to play.
Mathare United's win was a significant upset, especially considering Gor Mahia's recent performance in the CAF Champions League playoff, where they were knocked out by DC Motema Pembe just three days prior.
Mathare United's victory was a testament to their team's determination and skill, as they capitalized on Gor Mahia's mistakes to secure the win.
