Ahead of the match, Sofapakas leaky defense highlighted most previews. The side had conceded 22 goals so far this season which is the most from all teams in the top half of the Kenya Premier League table.
Against A Gor Mahia side that has scored 33 goals, things were not looking rosy for the Sofapaka backline. The pre-match concerns were laid bare when Boniface Omondi missed two glorious chances for the Champions before he delivered a peach of a cross that Lawerence Juma could not miss the target from.
The Champions were ahead after only 12 minutes. Sofapaka found a response just six munites later when a quick counter-attack resulted in a fierce shot from Kepha Aswani. David Mapigano in the Gor Mahia goal punched the ball but it fell kindly to Jaden Nana who made no mistake from the rebound.
The Champions restored on the hour mark from their skipper Kenneth Muguna who headed in from a Samuel Onyango cross. The win leaves Gor Mahia top of the table with 41 points, two ahead of second-placed Kakamega Homeboyz who have played a match more.
