Gor Mahia’s first SportPesa League quarter review 25/26
The two losses experienced were home matches. Overall, they won two games at home, drew once, and lost two, while they won all four of their away matches.
K’Ogalo’s campaign began with an unexpected 1-0 home loss to Bidco United. However, the team quickly recalibrated, embarking on an impressive seven-match unbeaten streak that included six victories.
During this dominant run, the Charles Akonnor-coached side conceded only two goals in the league before a stunning 4-1 defeat at home to APS Bomet in the final clash of the quarter.
This period of dominance was defined by tactical solidity under coach Charles Akonnor and an almost impenetrable defence, which conceded a league second-best low of just six goals in the nine games, including an exceptional run of four consecutive clean sheets.
In the month of September, K’Ogalo played two matches, losing the season opener 1-0 to Bidco United before recovering to register a 2-0 win over Sofapaka thanks to a brace from Ghanaian import Ebenezer Adu-Kwaw.
Then came the month of October, where they registered three out of three victories, failing to concede in the process. This started with a 1-0 win over KCB, courtesy of new signing Felix Oluoch Mboya’s goal.
They then moved to a powerful 3-0 victory over Posta Rangers in the first match since losing their patron, the RT Honourable Raila Odinga. All goals were scored in the second half by Ben Stanley Omondi, Felix Oluoch, and Austin Odhiambo.
Gor concluded the month of October with a 2-0 win over 2008 champions Mathare United, as rejuvenated Shariff Musa and Bryson Wangai found themselves on the score sheet.
This was a successful month for Gor, as Byrne Omondi kept three clean sheets in goal.
It was further complimented by the clinching of both the Sportpesa Player and Coach of the Month award respectively by Sharif Musa and Charles Akonnor. Midfielder Enock Morrison and defender Mike Kibwage were also nominated for the award.

In the month of November, the 2023/24 champions have marked mixed results, winning two matches, drawing once, and losing one match.
November started with a 1-1 draw with Ulinzi Stars at the Kasarani Stadium; Felix Oluoch’s early goal was cancelled out by Boniface Muchiri’s equaliser.
They then powered to a statement 2-0 victory over defending champions Police FC at Nyayo Stadium with goals from Felix Oluoch and Shariff Musa, before an own goal by Collins Odhiambo secured all three points in their 1-0 win over perennial rivals Tusker FC.
Gor finished the first quarter painfully, succumbing to their biggest league defeat in nineteen years: a 4-1 loss to relegation-threatened APS Bomet at the Nyayo National Stadium, their consolation goal netted by George Amonno for his first of the season.
Gor are ranked joint-first in goals scored, finding the back of the net 13 times alongside Kakamega Homeboyz.
