Gor Mahia Saturday returned to the summit of Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKF-PL) with a 1-0 win over Kenya Police at Moi International Sports Centre (MISC), Kasarani in Nairobi.
Gor lead the standings with 56 points from 26 matches, while Tusker are second with 54 points from 25 matches.
This is after Tusker, who headed into the round 26 matches as leaders, lost by a similar margin to hosts Nzoia Sugar at rain-soaked Sudi Stadium in Bungoma.
In other FKF-PL matches held Saturday, Bidco United were the day’s biggest winners with a 3-0 romp over Sofapaka at MISC Kasarani Annex, the same venue where Nairobi City Stars defeated Kariobangi Sharks 2-1 in an early kick-off.
Relegation candidates Wazito shocked Ulinzi Stars 1-0 at Muhoroni Stadium in Kisumu, while 10-man Posta Rangers compounded Mathare United relegation woes with a 2-0 win at Ruaraka Grounds.
Bandari and FC Talanata battled to a 1-1 draw at Mbaraki Sports Club in Mombasa.
The clash between Gor, and Police was the highlight of the weekend, with the law enforcers seeking to avenge their 2-1 loss to K’Ogalo in the first leg.
It was a balanced encounter with midfielder Austin Odhiambo’s 56th minute goal making the difference. Odhiambo slotted home from close range after being teed up by Benson Omala from Dennis Ng’ang’a’s free kick.
