Gor Mahia were held to a goalless draw by Tusker FC in their Kenya Premier League match at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos on Wednesday afternoon.

K’Ogalo started the better of the two teams and had the first shot on goal in the 11th minute when Eliud Lokuwam’s shot from the edge of the box struck the post before bouncing away from danger.

Tusker’ first real scoring chance came ten minutes later when Timothy Otieno curled a 24-yard free-kick inches over the target.

The next decent scoring opportunity only came in the 29th minute when Ephraim Guikan drove forward from the midfield before unleashing a 30-yard thunderbolt which deflected just wide of the brewers goal.

The half ended 0-0.

K’Ogalo continued to dictate matters at the start of the second half with Guikan shooting narrowly wide of the target five minutes into the half.

Tusker, though, were not to be outdone and came close to scoring in the 54th minute when George Odhiambo broke through on goal, but he was superbly denied in a one-on-one with Duncan Ochieng.

Gor lost a golden opportunity in the 68th minute when Lokuwam moved down the left, centred and Juma, with an open goal before him, side-footed over the bar.

Tusker retaliated in the 78th minute when Boniface Muchiri’s shot from the right byline curled in and bounced off the top of the cross bar.

There was a large delay to the match as Guikan was stretchered off and that seemed to kill the mood of the game.

Both teams struggled to create any significant chances on goal after that and the match ended all-square as a result.
