Oktay: Gor Mahia lucky to lose 6-0 vs CR Belouizdad, they deserved 10-0 defeat

The Cypriot-Turkish tactician is critical of K’Ogalo’s display in first leg of their Caf Champions League tie at Stadedu 5 Juillet 1962 Stadium

Ex-coach Hassan Oktay has claimed Gor Mahia were very lucky to return from Algeria with a 6-0 defeat against CR Belouizdad.

The Kenyan champions came up against the North African giants in the Caf Champions League playoffs, and the first leg they suffered a 6-0 defeat before they lost 2-1 at home in the return leg to exit on an 8-1 aggregate scoreline.

The Cypriot-Turkish tactician, who helped the team reach the quarter-finals of the Confederation Cup for the first time in history in 2019, has now told Goal K'Ogalo should be thankful because they only lost by a 6-0 margin, insisting the level of the game displayed by their opponents meant they deserved to lose 10-0.
