Former Gor Mahia goalkeeper Jerim Onyango has cautioned the Kenyan Premier League giants to stay focused as they chase for the league title this season.
Gor Mahia moved six points clear at the summit following their 1-0 Mashemeji derby win against their rivals AFC Leopards. The win boosted Gor Mahia’s chances of winning the title they lost last season to Kenya Police FC.

However, Onyango believes the record Kenyan champions should not celebrate as they still have difficult fixtures to play in remaining five matches.
“Right now, the title is a bit closer and I am sure they can see it. However, they must take one game at a time in order to get the job done. Thinking that they have already won it would be disastrous. They must keep the focus in every single game until they cross the line,” Onyango told Mozzart Sport.
“The next two matches especially will be very key, beginning with the match against Kakamega Homeboyz. If they can hold their nerves, build on the morale from the derby and win the next two matches, they shall have killed the hopes of the chasing pack and possibly cruise to the 22nd title.”
On the win against AFC Leopards, he said: “Winning against AFC Leopards was obviously a massive boost to their title campaign as those were their closest rivals.”
The victory left Gor Mahia at the top with 61 points amassed from 18 wins, seven draws, and four defeats, while AFC Leopards remained second with 55 points garnered from 16 wins, seven draws, and six defeats.
Gor Mahia’s last five matches will be against Kakamega Homeboyz, Kenya Police FC, Murang’a Seal, Mara Sugar, and conclude their campaign against Nairobi United.
