FKF Premier League: KCB topple Tusker from summit as run-in kicks

KCB took charge of their own fate after overtaking Tusker atop the Kenya Premier League standings on Wednesday following a 2-0 victory over Western Stima in Kisumu.

The brewers suffered back-to-back defeats for the first time this season with a 2-1 loss at the hands of Bandari in Mombasa and may have bottled their chances of winning the title.

The bankers now lead the standings with 57 points, two ahead of Tusker with four rounds left to the end of the season.

In Kisumu, Derrick Otanga scored a goal in either half to help the bankers cement the top spot.

He scored in the 27th and 67th minutes, to extend his scoring form for KCB to 12 goals this season.

In Mombasa, Tusker dropped a 1-0 halftime lead to collapse in the second half as they lost to Bandari.

Rodgers Aloro had given the brewers a 39th minute lead from a free-kick but Iddi Hassan responded in similar fashion from almost the same range for the hosts in the second half.

A rare mistake from Humphrey Mieno gifted the home side the second goal and what would turn out to be a winner from John Mwita with 15 minutes left.
