Two minutes later, Eugene Ikutwa doubled the advantage for the beer makers after slamming home a volley few metres from the box. The burly right back, just like Oduor, found himself deep inside the Gor Mahia territory before pouncing on a pass from Alvin Mang'eni to double their advantage. However, the former Bidco United man did not enjoy the moment for long as he inadvertently turned the ball into his net to halve the deficit for Gor Mahia.
