Dan Sserunkuma remains a cherished figure among the Green Army, his legacy firmly anchored in the pivotal role he played in ending Gor Mahia’s 18-year league title drought in 2013 and his outstanding record in high-stakes fixtures.

While his exploits against arch-rivals AFC Leopards are well documented, his impact against Mathare United is equally remarkable.

Ahead of the upcoming clash, it is worth revisiting Sserunkuma’s exceptional scoring record in this fixture. He remains Gor Mahia’s joint top scorer against Mathare United (alongside Jacques Tuyisenge) with five goals.

Remarkably, his 5 goals were all netted in an extraordinary streak spanning four consecutive matches between August 2012 and February 2014.

The run began memorably in August 2012 when he struck a brace in a thrilling 2–2 draw. At the time, Gor Mahia had surged from the lower reaches of the table into genuine title contention, and the comeback from two goals down symbolized the resilience that would define this campaign.

The following season, he again proved decisive, scoring the lone goal in a hard-fought victory in March. Later that year, as the title race intensified, Sserunkuma opened the scoring in a 2–1 win in October, a result that propelled the team closer to the championship they would secure by the end of that month.

He capped the sequence at the start of the subsequent campaign, netting the winner in a 1–0 triumph in the opening meeting of the season.

That victory ultimately proved crucial as Gor Mahia went on to retain the title in a race that was only settled on the final day.

Sserunkuma’s consistent influence in this fixture underscores why his name remains synonymous with decisive moments and championship pedigree.
