The Green Army were forced to defend for the better part of the second stanza as their visitors fought for an elusive draw
Gor Mahia survived a second-half onslaught from Western Stima to register a 3-2 win in a Kenyan Premier League (KPL) tie at Moi International Sports Complex on Saturday.
Gor Mahia got their three goals early in the first half as Boniface Omondi, Kenneth Muguna and Nicholas Kipkirui found the back of the net.
Western Stima scored their goals in either half via Baron Oketch and Benson Omalla but their spirited fight-back ultimately came to nothing.
