To end the curse after 17 years wait for the title in 2012, the players had a huge role to play and be competitive since winning the KPL title in 1995.
Gor Mahia and Tusker FC down the history
In 2012 Gor led the league with 58 points while Tusker where one point behind.
However, Gor wept uncontrollably after they lost the league title by a point to Tusker, having drawn 1-1 with Thika United while the brewers(Tusker FC) beat Simba wa Nairobi(Nairobi City Stars) 3-0 to lift the title.
The biggest question is whether will history repeat itself again as Gor lead the table and chases a record-extending 20th league title but this round Tusker has led the better part of the season.

I stand to be corrected, but Tusker’s last two matches seem to be a walk in the park Gor has had an uphill task to beat Kakamega Homeboyz to grab maximum points.
Let’s not forget Homeboyz knocked out Gor in round 16 of the Mozzart Bet Cup in March to qualify to play Tusker in the final of the domestic cup on July 1.

Astonishingly, the Golden Boot race sees Gor striker Benson Omala lead with 25 goals one more than Kenya Police forward Elvis Rupia. However, Omala has not scored in the last six matches thus making Rupia reduce the goal difference.
