Gor Mahia edged out Nzoia Sugar 1-0 to consolidate their position at the top of 2017 Kenyan Premier League table.

K’Ogalo went to the match with heads raised after winning ‘Mashemeji’ derby and beating Chemelil Sugar; results which pushed them to joint top with Posta Rangers.  

Head coach Ze Maria promoted Karim Nizigiyimana and captain Musa Mohammed with Timothy Otieno and Meddie Kagere starting upfront.

Meddie Kagere dribbled past four defenders before putting the ball past Nzoia custodian Mustapha Oduor for the only goal of the match and his fourth of the season.

Nzoia had an excellent chance to equalize in the 30th minute when they won a penalty after Harun Shakava brought Boniface Omondi inside the box.

Goalkeeper Boniface Oluoch however dealt with the situation saving the spot kick taken by defender Edwin Wafula.
