FKF Premier League: Ulinzi edge champions Gor in Nakuru

Alex Khasambuli scored the only goal of the match to help Ulinzi edge Gor Mahia in a league match played at the Afraha Stadium, Nakuru, on Monday.

Gor coach Sammy ‘Pamzo’ Omollo admitted the champions were victims of missing key players, adding the departure of midfielder Kenneth Muguna to Tanzania’s Azam had left them thin.

K’Ogalo have struggled for form this season, blowing hot and cold in the league where they have returned inconsistent results throughout the season and have now dropped to eighth position on the log with 40 points from 26 rounds.

Arch-rivals AFC Leopards, who they beat in the final of the Cup competition are their next opponents, Ingwe hoping to avenge their penalty loss in the last derby.

Leopards, fourth on the table, lost the final of the Cup in a penalty shoot-out and will be baying for their bitter rivals’ blood when they lock horns on Sunday, with not just points but bragging rights at stake.
