Omala missed out on the title of top scorer last season after Elvis “Machapo” Rupia narrowly beat him to the award by scoring a record-breaking 27 goals.
Gor Mahia captain Philemon Otieno has revealed how his teammates are helping Benson Omala go for the golden boot come the end of the season.
Omala missed out on the title of top scorer last season after Elvis “Machapo” Rupia, then of Kenya Police, scored a record-breaking 26 goals to break the long-standing 40-year record held By Maurice Aloo “Sonyi”.
He did however equal that 26-goal record set by the record goalscorer, but this season, he is determined to go one better and go for glory.
Speaking before Gor Mahia played Talanta on Sunday, Otieno revealed that his teammates are “doing everything they can” to help him become the top scorer at the end of the season.

FKFPL Why Patrick Odhiambo remains vague on Kakamega Homeboyz's title chances
The former Gor Mahia coach remains coy on Kakamega Homeboyz’s title chances despite getting into title challenging places.
Last season, he averaged 0.79 goals a match from 33 appearances. After 14 games, he is averaging a scoring rate of 0.64 goals a match, but will be hoping he can match up to the standards from last season if he is to stand a chance of walking away with the ultimate price.
