Gor Mahia coach Charles Akonnor concerned with lack of goals

Gor Mahia head coach Charles Akonnor has admitted to being concerned with his striking area after the Kenyan record champions struggled to score goals in the FKF Premier League.

K’Ogalo’s latest fixture saw them throw away a lead to settle for a 1-1 draw against Ulinzi Stars at Kasarani Stadium. In a game they dominated, Gor Mahia managed to utilise one chance.

Gor Mahia did not convert chances to goals

“Some situations should have gone in our favour, but they did not, and that was a bit frustrating. The opponent played the same way (midweek fixture, just like us), so that is not an excuse,” Akonnor conceded after the Ulinzi Stars draw as quoted by Mozzart Sports.

“We just were not fresh enough to dominate in the first half and in the attack. It is not just about this match against Ulinzi that we missed chances, but we are still working on improving our composure and being more clinical in front of goal.”

The Ghanaian coach added: There were a lot of positives, especially how we defended and created chances. The only negative is that we did not convert them to goals. But overall, the positives outweigh the negatives.”

In his message to the fans, he said: “We really appreciate the fans who turned out in large numbers. Gor Mahia is a household name in this country, and we’re proud of their support.”

Gor Mahia will return to action against champions Kenya Police FC at Nyayo National Stadium on Sunday.
