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.
Even before the dust settled, the visitors doubled their advantage through Muzi. Al Ahly’s two-goal lead did not dampen Gor’s spirit as they continued hunting for a goal to reduce the deficit.
Al Ahly’s goalkeeper and captain Mohamed Elsayed dived well to block Enock Morrison’s attempt in the 22nd minute, before a weighty cross by Gor’s assistant Godfrey Ochieng in 32nd minute went begging inside Al Ahly’s box, to the huge disappointment of the home supporters who were already on their feet ready to celebrate.
Egyptian giants Al Ahly have exposed Gor Mahia’s frailties on the big stage, beating the 21-time Kenyan champions 3-0 in their first leg encounter of the second preliminary round of the Caf Champions League in Nairobi Sunday.
Gor Mahia were left with a mountain to climb as they seek to qualify for the group stage of the 2024/25 Caf Champions League on the backdrop of a big loss in the first leg match at Nyayo National Stadium on Sunday.
