Gor Mahia Crush AFC Leopards 4-1 at Kasarani ¶
On Sunday, Gor Mahia FC ripped the form book to crush their eternal rivals AFC Leopards 4-1 at the Kasarani Stadium, ending a testing run that included exit from continental football.
After a goalless opening 45 minutes, Gor produced a storming start to the second half, creating three chances in quick succession. Gmien Yikpe scored a spectacular double to kickstart a remarkable goal-fest and spark the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) champions.
Yikpe's first goal came ten minutes after the restart when he powered home a thunderous header from Kenneth Muguna's delivery from a corner. He then produced another excellent finish moments later after getting on the end of a move he had orchestrated himself with some impressive hold up play.
Clifton Miheso and Lawrence Juma also scored brilliant strikes for Gor, with Miheso burying a banger into the bottom of the net from outside the box after receiving a beautiful pass from Muguna. Juma capped off a solid performance with a goal from a team move that completely bamboozled Leopards.
Leopards pulled one back with six minutes left on the clock when Tresor Ndikumana sent a left-footed drive from 25 yards out into the back of the net. However, Gor still managed to add a fourth after a fast passing move that lasted over two minutes unlocked the visiting defence and left Juma one on with the goalkeeper.
