A Firing Squad That Misfired: Gor Mahia and Ulinzi Can't Find a Winning Shot.

Gor Mahia's Winning Streak Snapped by Resilient Ulinzi Stars at Kasarani

NAIROBI, Kenya – In a tightly contested FKF Premier League clash at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, Gor Mahia were held to a 1-1 draw by a disciplined Ulinzi Stars side on Sunday, dropping precious points in their title defense.

The result halts K'Ogalo's impressive run of consecutive victories and serves as a reminder of the competitiveness of the league, even for the reigning champions.

From the opening whistle, Gor Mahia, donning their iconic green, sought to impose their will, controlling possession and pressing high. Their early dominance paid off in the first minute. A cleverly worked team move found Felix Oluoch in space inside the box, and the dynamic player made no mistake, slotting the ball calmly past Ulinzi's goalkeeper to send the green section of the stadium into raptures.

However, the soldiers of Ulinzi Stars, known for their tactical discipline and resilience, refused to be overawed. They weathered the storm and grew into the game, looking dangerous on the counter-attack.

Gor Mahia threw everything forward in search of a winner, with coach Akonnor introducing fresh attackers. The pressure was immense, with the woodwork rattling and last-ditch blocks denying what seemed like certain goals. Ulinzi Stars defended with their lives, putting their bodies on the line to secure a hard-fought point.

Ulinzi Stars' coach, however, was full of praise for his team's character. "This is a massive point for us. The boys executed the game plan perfectly. To come to Kasarani and get a draw against the champions requires heart and discipline, and we showed that in abundance today. I am very proud of the team."

The draw sees Gor Mahia's second place the top potentially cut, depending on other results, while Ulinzi Stars will see this as a vital point in their campaign, boosting their confidence and league standing.
