Pinto: Ruaraka Ground a struggle for technical Gor Mahia players against Mathare United

K'Ogalo are now third on the table after their sixth straight win in the Kenyan top-tier

Gor Mahia head coach Carlos Manuel Vaz Pinto concedes Mathare United made it tough for his team in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League assignment on Wednesday since they were fresh as opposed to his team.

In the match played at Ruaraka Grounds, K’Ogalo benefited from an-own goal after the ‘Slum Boys’ defender Lennox Ogutu directed a left-footed cross from Alpha Onyango into his own net to hand the champions a sixth straight win in a row.

But the tactician concedes it was not easy because also the pitch contributed to the struggles of the reigning champions.
