Gor Mahia edged Tusker FC 1–0 in a tense Kenyan Premier League showdown at Kasarani, marking the 100th league meeting between the two giants. The match exploded into life early when Tusker defender Collins Odhiambo mistakenly guided the ball into his own net in the 8th minute, gifting K’Ogalo a lead they never surrendered.
After the opener, Gor Mahia settled quickly, dictating the tempo through sharp midfield rotations and dangerous set pieces delivered by Enock Morrison. Sylvester Owino came close with a powerful header, while Austin threatened from range as Gor pushed to double their advantage.
Tusker returned stronger after the break, making attacking substitutions in search of an equalizer. Yakeen, Curtis, and Kapaito injected fresh energy, and Denis Oalo forced Gor’s back line into desperate defending. Oruko also produced a moment of brilliance on the wing, but his effort was blocked, with the rebound smothered before Tusker could pounce.
Sensing the shift, Gor Mahia tightened midfield control by introducing Ebenezer Adu-Kwaw and Alpha Onyango, stabilizing possession and shutting down Tusker’s rhythm. Their disciplined defensive shape in the final minutes ensured the early goal stood as the decider.
With the win, Gor Mahia extended their lead at the top of the league and claimed a symbolic victory in this historic rivalry milestone. Tusker will rue the early mistake but showed strong fight throughout.
K’Ogalo march on.
Tusker left wondering what could have been.
