Vaz Pinto: Gor Mahia were excellent against Bandari despite congested fixtures

The Portuguese tactician praises his players for getting a win in a difficult pitch against a tough opponent coupled with fatigue

Gor Mahia coach Carlos Manuel Vaz Pinto has admitted his players are working extra hard to get results after they managed to beat Bandari FC 3-1 in an FKF Premier League match played on Sunday.

K’Ogalo put up a decent display to defeat the Dockers in Mombasa with Burundian striker Jules Ulimwengu notching a brace for the reigning champions, Nicholas Kipkirui getting a third while Bernard Odhiambo scored for the hosts.

It was Gor Mahia’s second straight win in the league after they had suffered a shock defeat to Vihiga United and coach Pinto, has admitted his players are pushing themselves to get the result owing to the number of matches they are playing in every three days.
