Alpha Onyango’s late striker was the difference as Gor Mahia beat Sofapaka 2-1 at home.

Otieno’s attempt
Timothy Otieno came close to give us the lead with 12 minutes of play. With a long-range pass from Titus Achesa, Otieno’s shot lacked enough power to beat Gad Mathews on goal.

Mubarak’s big save
Custodian Abduol Moubarak made a huge save in the early minutes of the game. The Togo international made a fingertip save denying Clifton Miheso’s goal-bound effort.

Okelo’s opener
Gor Mahia took the lead through Tito Okelo, the lanky forward headed in from Kenneth Muguna’s deliver.

Aches equalizer
Six minutes upon resumption, a hard shot on goal by Titus Achesa proved too hard for Gad Mathew in goal. Achesa’s goal leveled the scores much to the relief of the team.

Alpha’s winner
Substitute Alpha Onyango who was in the barely five minutes, scored the winning goal for the visitors heading in past Abduol Moubarak.

Sofapaka will next take on Nairobi City Stars.
