Gor Mahia fall to Vipers in CECAFA clash

Kenyan champions Gor Mahia suffered a 1-0 defeat to Uganda's Vipers in a CECAFA Club Championship Group A match at Pele Stadium in Kigali, Rwanda. Vipers scored the only goal of the match deep into stoppage time in the second half. Gor Mahia coach Charles Akonnor made nine changes to the side that thrashed hosts APR 5-0 in the opening Group A match, but the reshuffled team struggled against a physical Vipers side. Five second-half substitutions improved Gor Mahia's performance, but a lapse in concentration in the closing moments allowed Vipers to snatch the victory. Gor Mahia will face Djibouti's Garde Républicaine in their final Group A match, while Vipers take on APR.
