Gor lay early marker as league race picks pace

Gor Mahia lead the SportPesa Premier League by four points after winning their opening three matches, while newly promoted sides and traditional rivals chase early momentum.

Gor Mahia have made an early statement in the SportPesa Premier League, opening a four-point lead at the top after three rounds as the season begins to take shape.

K’Ogalo edged Bandari 1-0 to move to nine points from three matches, maintaining a perfect record and showing the value of winning tight games.

Their six goals scored and two conceded underline a strong start, while the gap over the chasing pack gives them early breathing space.

The race behind them is crowded. Newly promoted 3K FC, Mara Sugar, AFC Leopards and Shabana are level on five points, with Kakamega Homeboyz and KCB next on four.

3K made the biggest move among the chasers by beating Murang’a Seal 2-1.

The Nairobi side has collected five points from their first three top-flight matches, an encouraging return for a club playing in the Premier League for the first time.
