Mathare United: Slum Boys edge Sharks in five-goal thriller to ease out of relegation

Daniel Otieno scored a last-minute winner as Mathare United came from behind twice to edge Kariobangi Sharks in a five-goal thriller played at Thika Stadium.

Jumaan Khalid had cancelled out Robert Onyango’s opener for a 1-1 tie at the break and, again, John Mwangi restored parity for Mathare when matching Peter Lwasa’s goal in the final half for a 2-2 draw with 20 minutes to go.

Mathare, the 2008 champions, have left the relegation zone for the first time this season as they lie 15th on the log, ahead of Vihiga United and Western Stima. They have 21 points same as Western Stima but with a better goal difference.

Sharks dropped to fifth after the loss, their third consecutive defeat since defeating defending champions Gor Mahia 2-1 last month.
