Newly crowned SportPesa Premier League champions Gor Mahia were held to a 0-0 draw by Mara Sugar on Wednesday as the fight to avoid relegation intensified ahead of the final day of the season.

The match, played at Raila Odinga Stadium in Homa Bay, was the abandoned fixture that had failed to take place over the weekend. Despite dropping points, Gor Mahia stretched their lead at the top of the table to five points and are now preparing to lift their record-extending 22nd league title after their final match against Nairobi United at Nyayo Stadium on Sunday.

While Gor Mahia celebrated another successful season, the battle at the bottom of the table continued to take shape with Ulinzi Stars moving closer to safety after a crucial 2-0 win over Tusker FC.
