Gor sink Yanga

Gor Mahia on Sunday edged closer to the Caf Confederation Cup quarter-finals with a 3-2 win over Tanzania's Young Africans (Yanga) in a Group 'D' match of the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam.

This result enabled the Kenyan champions to move to the top of their four-team group with eight points from four matches.

The standings in this four-team pool have been expected to change with Algeria's USM Algiers facing visiting Rwandan side Rwanda Radius Sport late on Sunday night at the Mustapha Tchaker Stadium in Blida. George Odhiambo, Jacques Tuyisenge and club captain Harun Shakava scored for the Kenyan side while Yoni benefitted from two Boniface Oluoch howlers to score both consolation goals.

It was however the Kenyan champions who got off the mark 38-seconds after kick-off they went to their first place in this competition.

Joash Onyango, who was making a break in the air, who had a chance to hang out, robbed possession off Yusuf Mhilu and set up Humphrey Mieno.

The play-maker in turn delivered a teasing cross towards the surging Odhiambo in the box, and the attacker responded by calmly heading the ball into the net from five yards.

Rwandan import Tuyisenge then doubled the lead from an indirect free kick of the area after Yanga custodian Rostand Youthe was penalized for releasing the ball and then holding it with his two hands.

The hosts would pull back to that point as soon as possible.

Shakava restored Gor's two-goal advantage by tapping home an Odhiambo corner. But again, Oluoch spilled a free kick at the other end, allowing Raphael Dauda to score the fifth goal of the game.

Dylan Kerr's team will next face Rayon Sport at home on August 19, 1965.
