Sofapaka Football Club claimed three points following a 2-3 win over buoyant Muhoroni Youth in a Kenyan premier league (KPL) game played Wednesday, August 2, 2017 at the Muho complex.
Team captain Maurice Odipo put us ahead in the five opening minutes of halftime after heading home from a free kick. The hosts threatened them after as they intensified their chase for an equalizer but Sam Ssimbwa’s charges were equal to all dangers.
Ali Feni and Umaru Kasumba struck the other goals in the 45th and 49th minutes respectively. Ambrose Ayoyi and Hassan Kikoyo netted for the hosts in the epic game that saw Maurice Odipo among those booked by the center referee.
Elsewhere, Gor Mahia defeated Nakumatt 1-0 as Kariobangi Sharks went down 3-2 to Zoo while Rangers beat visiting Tusker 1-0. Sofapaka now stands 5th on the table with 28 points, six adrift leaders Gor Mahia.
