Gor Mahia registered a 2-1 win against Sofapaka in a Thursday Football Kenya Federation Premier League tie at Wundanyi Stadium.
Tito Okello and Alpha Onyango scored goals for the champions while Titus Achesa denied the visitors a clean sheet with a second-half strike.
Aigba Moubarak did well to deny Clifton Miheso in the 12th minute when the Gor Mahia forward attempted an ambitious and clinical long-range strike. A 23rd-minute Gor Mahia attack did not result in any meaningful outcome even though Kenneth Muguna and Clifton Miheso combined well in midfield before the former set Okello through but the forward blasted wide.
