Caf Confederation Cup: How Gor Mahia plotted their downfall against Otoho d'Oyo

Premier League

Gor Mahia

AFC Leopards

The Kenyan outfit were bundled out of Africa's second-tier competition after an aggregate 2-1 loss to Congolese outfit Otoho d'Oyo. GOAL takes a look at where it all went wrong for the East Africans.

Where did it go wrong for K'Ogalo?

The team has been struggling financially and despite their situation, they had to settle with their former players and coach. With massive exits, the squad remained thin. To be specific, they had just 16 players to play in the preliminaries and as seen in the two legs, they made just one substitution. With no depth, it was not going to be easy, lesson learned the hard way.

Poor preparations

In these competitions, no matter how good you are, goals are the ones that count. Away in Congo, K'Ogalo failed to get a vital away goal, and their opponents managed to score and get a clean sheet. On Sunday, at Nyayo Stadium, they were caught napping early and paid the price. They wasted massive chances and have only themselves to blame.

Blunt attack

It was the first time in about two years that the fans were allowed in the stadium, and they came in thousands. It was a different environment for the players who tried hard to impress them. As time went by without getting another goal, they crumbled under pressure and could not get past their opponents. Poor timing from the management maybe?

Pressure to deliver

Otoho had enough players to stretch their opponents who did not have the numbers. They made crucial substitutions in critical areas, like midfield and attack, which further stretched Gor Mahia. The home team were forced to bring on the recovering Sydney Ochieng but he could not help them from the hungry visitors.

Tactical awareness from the opponents

It was an open secret, K'Ogalo were weak owing to the already aforementioned factors. But the players were overwhelmed with expectations from the management, technical bench, and the fans in equal measure. In the end, they failed to deliver on the pitch.

Over-ambitious
