Gor Mahia midfielder Enock Morrison has acknowledged that the first leg of the Football Kenya Federation Premier League 24/25 did not meet their expectations as the club.
However, he remains optimistic that when the team enters the second leg, they will regain their momentum and defend their championship title with confidence.
Gor Mahia made a strong return to winning ways with an impressive 2-0 victory over Sofapaka on Wednesday, January 22, in their rescheduled match at the Kenyatta Stadium, coming off a 2-1 loss to Tusker FC in their previous encounter.
This season has been challenging for Gor Mahia, with their performance at a low point.
They currently sit in fourth place with 27 points from 16 matches, having secured eight wins, three draws, and five losses.
This contrasts with last season’s record, where they amassed 34 points from nine wins and seven draws.
