Of course, the result was not desired, especially by coach Carlos Manuel Vaz Pinto, who was appointed to steer the club that was deep into a managerial crisis.
Firstly, his job was not going to be easy since he arrived at a time when Gor Mahia were involved in a sponsorship tussle with Football Kenya Federation over the StarTimes broadcasting partnership.
Secondly, the Green Army were under the guidance of an interim coach in Sammy Omollo, who has since been confirmed as an assistant, when they took part in the Champions League.
Omollo was urgently invited to steer the club after Roberto Oliveira Gonzalez was disqualified from overseeing the continental games as he did not possess the requisite qualification papers.
