Defending champions Gor Mahia failed to capitalise on Posta Rangers flaws and open a five-point lead at the top of the FKF Premier League after coming from 2-0 down to force a 2-2 draw with relegation-threatened Nzoia Sugar at Raila Odinga Stadium in Homa Bay on Saturday.
Mohammed Barisa scored a brace to give Nzoia a 2-0 lead inside the opening 30 minutes before Patrick Kaddu pulled a goal back before half time as Gor trailed 2-1 at the break.
Golden Boot chaser Benson Omalla made it 2-2 from the penalty spot in the final half as Gor salvaged a point in Homa Bay.
The draw leaves Gor top on 28 points, three ahead of Posta Rangers who play Tusker today.
At Sportpesa Arena, Murang’a SEAL also came from behind to force a 1-1 draw against Ulinzi Stars.
