Biased officiating against Gor Mahia is the talk of the town after the Kenya champions were denied what looked like a legitimate goal against hosts Algeria’s NA Hussein Dey in the group stages of Caf Confederations Cup on Sunday. Replays from the televised match captured Merbah colliding with his teammate but the referee who was placed a few inches from the scene disallowed the goal for a foul on the goalkeeper. Gor Mahia will have to force an away win against Zamalek this weekend to breath life into their bid to sail to the quarterfinals. Zamalek, who rose to third after their last weekend loss will be seeking their second win in the group as well as avenge their 4-2 loss suffered in Nairobi last month. Gor will host Petro Atletico in the final group stage match on March 17 at the Moi Stadium, Kasarani.
