Gor Mahia chairman Ambrose Rachier has defended coach Carlos Manuel Vaz Pinto and their new signings after they suffered defeat against Napsa Stars in the play-off of the Caf Confederation Cup on Sunday.
The Kenyan champions failed to utilise home ground advantage as they suffered a 1-0 defeat against the pensioners at Nyayo Stadium to complicate their chances of reaching the lucrative stage of the competition.
It was Daniel Aboko who powered home the lone goal with four minutes left to the final whistle after his thunderbolt effort from outside the box sizzled past Gor Mahia's defenders to beat keeper Boniface Oluoch all the way to the net.
