A second half substitute, Kikoyo was well placed to intercept a back pass from veteran defender Godfrey Kokoyo before finishing past the goalkeeper James Saruni.

Ulinzi rallied back and found the equalizer, barely a quarter of an hour left on the clock.

Masuta finished past goalie Michael Wanyika who had at first saved Cliff Kasuti’s shot.

Paul Nkata’s Kakamega Home Boyz got numerical advantage after a red card to goalie Saruni for a malicious foul on Wyclife Opondo way outside the goal area.
