continued their resurgence in the FKF Premier League (FKFPL) by defeating 2-0 in a hard-fought encounter at the Raila Odinga Stadium on Saturday.
The Millers, who have adapted well to life in the top tier, made three changes to their lineup, including handing Robert Obaga his first start
Gor Mahia, meanwhile, stuck with the same squad that secured a midweek win against Kakamega Homeboyz, with Gad Mathews in goal and Austin Odhiambo as captain.
Gor Mahia have finally provided relevant information on the places to buy their 2024/2025 Sheria Ngowi-branded merchendise, including jerseys.
The opening half was evenly contested, with few clear-cut chances. Mathews was called into action in the 22nd minute to deny the hosts, while Odhiambo’s late first-half effort missed the target, leaving the teams deadlocked at halftime
In the second half, Gor Mahia increased their intensity but struggled to break down a resolute Mara Sugar defense.
Coach Zedekiah «Zico» Otieno made a decisive double substitution, bringing on Gideon Bendeka and Musa Masika.
The match appeared destined for a draw until Gor Mahia’s persistence paid off in the dying moments.
The former Kenya international has urged the national team to call up teenage striker Aldine Kibet, citing his exceptional talent.
Odhiambo broke the deadlock near stoppage time with a well-taken goal after combining with Ronney Onyango. Moments later, Odhiambo turned provider, setting up Bendeka to secure a 2-0 victory for the defending champions.
The win reinforces Gor Mahia’s resurgence under interim coach Otieno and gives them a glimmer of hope in their title defense.

Mara Sugar starting XI: Felix Adoyo (Gk), Drona Openda (C), Samwel Otieno, Kelvin M Luvanda, Matthias Isogoli, Robert Obaga, Joseph Okwenda, Meshack Makokha, Michael Isabwa, Woodvine Okoth, David Mwiti Owino.
