Kenya: Aussems Sweating Over Nairobi United As Winless Run Persists With Draw to Gor

What the report says

Nairobi United head coach Patrick Aussems expressed frustration after his side drew 1-1 with Gor Mahia in an FKF Premier League match at Wang'uru Stadium in Kirinyaga, according to Capital FM, which was distributed by AllAfrica. The result extended Nairobi United’s winless start to the season and left the coach concerned that his team again failed to turn periods of control into victory.

Nairobi United went ahead in the first half through Joseph Seremba, who finished a counterattacking move in the 35th minute. Gor Mahia responded late through Alpha Onyango, whose strike came near the end of the game and denied Nairobi United a second straight chance to close out a result.

Aussems said his team became too defensive after taking the lead and drifted away from its usual style in the second half. He also pointed to a pattern from earlier matches in which late concessions have cost points. The report said Nairobi United, the reigning FKF Cup champions, remain without a win after six league matches, with five draws and one defeat, placing them near the bottom of the standings. Their next match is against Mara Sugar on Saturday. More broadly, the result highlights the challenge for clubs trying to convert possession and early leads into wins in a tight league campaign.
