Kenya, 31 January 2026 - Gor Mahia put in a commanding performance at Nyayo National Stadium, beating Sofapaka 3-0 in their latest FKF Premier League fixture to move four points clear at the top of the table.
The victory keeps K’Ogalo firmly in control of the title race and highlights their strength as the season reaches a crucial phase.
The hosts seized the initiative early and never looked back. Frank Odhiambo opened the scoring in the 14th minute with a well-placed finish that put Gor Mahia ahead and set the tone for the rest of the match. Sofapaka struggled to break down the home side’s organised defence, and anytime they pushed forward Gor Mahia looked dangerous on the counter.
Just before the half-hour mark Ndani Kabisa doubled the lead in the 19th minute, finishing calmly after good build-up play in the final third. The two-goal cushion allowed the league leaders to control the tempo and dictate play more comfortably.
The third goal came from Ebenezer Adukwaw in the 33rd minute, converting a penalty after a foul in the box to send the supporters into full voice. With a three-goal advantage and momentum firmly on their side, Gor Mahia took the match well into their own hands.
This win continues Gor Mahia’s impressive form in the 2025/26 campaign, where they have combined a disciplined defence with effective attacking play to stay ahead in the title chase. Their four-point lead reflects consistent performances and an ability to grind out results, especially against teams lower down the table.

Sofapaka, who remain in the lower reaches of the standings, will be disappointed with their outing. They struggled to create clear chances and were seldom able to test the Gor Mahia back line. For them, tightening up defensively and improving their offensive threat will be key in the weeks ahead if they hope to climb out of the relegation zone.
The win also highlights Gor Mahia’s depth in scoring options. While their top scorer was unavailable due to injury, other players stepped up to deliver on the big occasion. Maintaining this collective contribution in front of goal could be decisive as rivals push to keep pace.
With a comfortable lead at the summit, Gor Mahia will now look ahead to their next league fixtures with confidence. Their focus will be on sustaining this form and continuing to accumulate points that could ultimately secure them the championship.
Gor Mahia’s disciplined performance against Sofapaka was a reminder of their championship credentials and their ability to take advantage of key moments in high-pressure matches.
