Last season’s Kenya Premier League runners up Gor Mahia edged out the Local Ghanaian national team 2-1 in a friendly played at Nyayo national stadium on Sunday.

The Ghanaians who are in the country preparing for 2011 CHAN tourney in Sudan had no answer to Mighty Kogalo as the boys in green declared their intent with a fine display.

Coach Zedekiah Otieno used the match to test out his new signings with Edwin Lavetsa, Moses Odhiambo, Kenya Premier League Young Player of the Year Ezekiel Odera and Dennis Okoth all making their debuts.

Easily the most supported club in the country, Gor fans thronged Nyayo stadium for the first impressions of the t in 2011 squad and were not disappointed as the side played with verve and vigour.

Odera was the second top scorer in the league last season and he showed why Gor signed him scoring the opener on 13 minutes. Signed from APR, Odhiambo was the architect beating two defenders on the flank before crossing the ball for Odera to head home.

Ghana got the equalizer on 40 minutes only for Gor to swiftly regain the lead through Collins Okoth whose freekick hit the woodwork and the keeper before nestling into the net.
