McKinstry drops hint on future amidst Gambia rumors as Gor Mahia eyes title glory
Jonathan McKinstry is rumored to be considering a move to the Gambia National Team.
The visitors, meanwhile, offered a potent threat on the counterattack through the pace of Benson Omala but rarely executed cleanly when given a chance to move from back to front quickly.
One such example arose on the half-hour mark when a KCB corner ended in a swift attack for Gor, but Omala, having sprinted free of the defense down the right, pulled his effort well wide. Seconds later the Kenyan international striker had another chance, and this time his well-struck effort stung the palms of goalkeeper Gabriel Andika.
On 35 minutes Austin Odhiambo had the visitors’ first notable effort on target, striking for the top corner direct from a free kick, but Andika made a fine save to keep the score line blank.

KCB almost netted the opening goal on 70 minutes when some fine passing opened up space for James Mazembe, but his drive from the right of the box was turned away by Kevin Omondi.
