Gor Mahia’s three-match unbeaten run came to a sudden halt with a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to bottom-placed Nairobi City Stars in a match played at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos on Monday afternoon.

Gor Mahia dominated possession, territory and chances, but somehow contrived to lose the match to arguably the only two genuine opportunities their hosts created in the game.

Thee record champions take a 1-0 halftime lead courtesy of Lawrence Odhiambo who found the back of the net in the 23rd minute as aimed to return to winning ways following a goalless draw against leaders KCB in mid-week.

The defending champions Gor Mahia will hope get back to winning ways after they dropped points for the first time this season in last week's midweek action stalemate against leaders KCB.

After the restart, Robinson Asenwa leveled the score for City Stars at the hour’s mark before Dennis Oalo sealed victory in the 68th minute.

This was City Stars’ first win of the season after registering just two points in their opening five league matches. Edwin Buliba received his marching orders in the 89th minute for City Stars.

Akena has earned two caps for the Uganda Cranes, but has not been part of the set up for the last two years.

The win lifts City Stars to 17th position in the 18-team league while Gor Mahia remain ninth although the Leonardo Leiva charges have three games in hand. Gor Mahia will hope to regroup for their weekend match against giant killers Murang’a SEAL on Saturday.
