Gor Mahia have already asked their players to forget about the Caf exit and shift their focus to retaining the title, which they will have to sweat for as Tusker have already opened a 16-point gap at the top of the 18-team table ahead of them.
“To our players who defied all the odds, we say thank you for your outstanding display, you made us proud and you stood tall at the hour of need,” Gor Mahia secretary-general Sam Ochola told the players after returning from Zambia.
“Thank you so much, let's now focus on the league to make it 19 titles this season because we’ll be back in continental football after fixing our nagging problems, a mission we have embarked on today.”
