Gor Mahia play Nyasa Big Bullets in the second leg of Caf Champions League preliminary round match at Kamuzu Stadium, Blantrye.

At the other end, George "Blackberry" Odhiambo has been involved in Gor's raids but his efforts have ended in fruitless corners.

Hassan Oktay is in Gor Mahia's dugout barking orders to his charges. However, club chairman Ambrose Rachier has categorically denied that the Turkish-Cypriot has been appointed as the team’s head coach.

On the stroke of half time skipper Harun Shakava missed a glorious chance when Shafik Batambuze free kick rolled a few feet away from his outstretched leg with an empty goal at his mercy.
