Gor Mahia's Austin Odhiambo (right) tussle with Al Ahly's Attia Marawan during their Caf Champions League first leg of the second preliminary round clash at Nyayo National Stadium on September 15, 2024.
In the first leg match, Gor custodian Kevin Omondi gifted Al Ahly an easy first goal.
The second came after Boniface Omondi was easily dispossessed while the third goal also originated from poor defending inside the box.
Anything can happen in football, and so Gor Mahia coach Leonardo Neiva’s resigned views about their chances in Sunday’s reverse fixture of their CAF Champions League second preliminary round match against Al Ahly of Egypt in Cairo can only be considered part of the mind games in this business.
The Brazilian coach publicly conceded that Gor Mahia are out of the running for a spot in the next round, but they will turn up at the Cairo International Stadium to honour the fixture that kicks off at 7pm (Kenyan time) and learn from the African football powerhouse.
