Ben Stanley Omondi runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 38. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Gor Mahia sign Moses Njeru, one for the future
Moses Njeru is 16, and Gor Mahia have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.
