What you need to know:

  • It will be double joy for Omala, who was on target in the first leg against Tusker, if he scores and K’Ogalo win because that would put the club in good stead of claiming a record-extending 20th league title
  • A goal for Omala will put him in pole position to win the Golden Boot and equal Maurice "Sonyi" Ochieng's 47-year-old record of 26 league goals in a season
  • Omala leads the Golden Boot race with 25 goals but has endured a goal drought in the last three matches including missing a penalty in the "Mashemeji derby" against arch rivals AFC Leopards at Nyayo two weeks ago

Gor Mahia striker Benson Omala could match or set a new goal scoring record in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League on Sunday if he scores against Tusker. 

Tusker and Gor Mahia who are separated by just a point at the top will clash at Nyayo National Stadium from 3pm in what is considered a potential title decider.
