Title ambitions of record Kenyan Premier League champions Gor Mahia suffered a major blow following a 1-0 loss to Tusker FC on Tuesday, 14 April 2026, a result that blew the SportPesa League title race wide open.
A lone goal netted by Ibrahim Joshua‘ in the first-half was enough to hand the Brewers all three points in a league match staged at the Wang’uru Stadium in Mwea.
The result leaves Gor Mahia sitting precariously at the summit of the table, enjoying a slender two-point lead over arch-rivals AFC Leopards.
Gor Mahia came into the match knowing that a win would stretch their lead to five points, especially after dropping points in a goalless draw against Kariobangi Sharks.
With this result, Gor Mahia’s lead at the top is now under serious threat ahead of their next fixture against Bandari FC, while AFC Leopards face Kenya Police FC before the two sides face off.All eyes now shift to the highly anticipated 99th Mashemeji Derby, which could prove decisive in the race for the crown.
Police 0 Mathare United 0
Defending champions Kenya Police FC missed the chance to go level on points with third-placed Kakamega Homeboyz after being held to a goalless draw by the 2008 Kenyan Premier League winners Mathare United at the Kasarani Stadium.
Both teams pushed for a goal, but none was forthcoming as they settled for a barren draw at the final whistle. Police remain fourth on 44 points while Mathare moved up to 12th with 31 points.
