Gor Mahia extend unbeaten run to eight with commanding 3–1 win over Ulinzi Stars
K'Ogalo produced their most complete performance of the month at Nyayo, with goals from Omondi, Kipchoge, and a late Wafula strike keeping Tusker at arm's length in the title race.

Gor Mahia put on a masterclass in controlled, possession-based football on Saturday afternoon, dismantling an organised Ulinzi Stars side 3–1 to extend their unbeaten Kenyan Premier League run to eight matches. Before a packed Nyayo National Stadium, K'Ogalo sent a clear message to their title rivals: they have no intention of relinquishing their grip at the summit.
First-half dominance sets the tone
Boniface Omondi broke the deadlock on the 23rd minute, meeting a whipped Eric Kipchoge cross from the right flank to head powerfully beyond the Ulinzi goalkeeper. The goal settled K'Ogalo into their rhythm, and ten minutes later Kipchoge himself added a clinical second with a curling effort from the edge of the area that kissed the far post on its way in.
“We knew what was at stake today. Every match from here is a final, and the boys delivered exactly what we prepared all week.”

Ulinzi's brief comeback snuffed out
The visitors reduced the deficit from the penalty spot just before the hour mark after a clumsy challenge in the box, and for a brief fifteen-minute spell Ulinzi asked real questions of the Gor defence. But substitute Kelvin Wafula ended the contest on 81 minutes, latching onto a loose ball in the area and slamming home off the underside of the bar to send the Nyayo faithful into ecstasy. The win keeps Gor Mahia four points clear of second-placed Tusker FC, who face Bandari in Mombasa on Sunday.
