However, APS Bomet fought back and managed to pull a goal back through Hansel Ochieng. The former AFC Leopards player, who scored a hat-trick against Gor Mahia in the reverse fixture, once again proved to be a thorn in their side.
Hansel Ochieng’s goal on his return from injury briefly gave the home side hope, but Gor Mahia held firm to secure the 2-1 win.
The result leaves APS Bomet in the lower half of the table, facing a tough battle to maintain their top-flight status under new manager Sammy “Pamzo” Omollo.
Meanwhile, Gor Mahia returns to Nairobi with a commanding lead and a clearer path to claiming the 2026 league championship.
