Thika United climbed a step from the relegation chamber of the Kenya Premier League after battling to a barren draw against league leaders Gor Mahia on Sunday afternoon.

The match was played at Thika Municipal Grounds. 

The duel began with visitors Kogalo appearing the likely winners having a clean winning streak to their name.

However, the pangs of relegation were biting hard on the home side that presented a resilient wall to quell any attempted attack from the green side and it was relief at the final whistle with no net shaken.

Gor Mahia remain nine points clear of second-placed Sofapaka who also battled third-placed Kariobangi Sharks to a barren draw on Saturday.
