Kenya Premier League Champions Gor Mahia have kept their hopes of qualifying for the next round of Confederation of African Football (CAF) Cup alive following their 2-0 victory on Saturday against Equatorial Guinea's side Leones Vegetarianos at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos.
With Burundian striker Jacques Tuyisenge out due to injury, Kevin Omondi started upfront alongside Meddie Kagere.
K'Ogalo started the match with high pressing for a goal in the early minutes.
Gor Mahia could have gotten an early lead in the 17th minute when Francis Kahata's well-taken kick was cleared by goalkeeper Manuel Sapunga.
With the visitors succumbing into pressure from the hosts, Kevin Omondi slotted home the first goal for K'ogalo in the 22nd minute after receiving a superb pass in from Meddie Kagere.
A few minutes later, Humphrey Mieno missed a chance to double the lead after he failed to score a penalty following an incident where the visitors' defender handled the ball with his hands in the danger area.In the second half, Gor Mahia continued with the fine form and their efforts culminated to success when substitute Ephraim Guikan doubled the score in the 62nd minute.
The green army will now need a draw of any kind in their away fixture against Vegetarianos so that they proceed to the next stage of the tourney.
