Gor Mahia tried hard but were held by spirited Murang'a Seal in a dull encounter.
Benson Omala scored a goal that was flagged offside, but it looked controversial considering the fact Seal's goalkeeper parried the ball back straight at Omala, who then found the back of the net before being flagged offside.
There was another incident where a Murang’a Seal player made foul towards the end of the game, but the referee appeared not to take notice.
