Abana Beingo picked up from where they left from in the second half as they had the wind in their sails but failed to capitalize on their dominant start with Nzoia Sugar withering the Homeboyz storm.Moses Mudavadi got his name on the book a minute after the hour mark for a dangerous tackle with Gaetan Masha also receiving a yellow card three minutes later.Half Time We lead through a beauty of a goal from Shami Kibwana.

Homeboyz put the game to bed in the 81st minute when Stephen Opoku doubled their lead with a long-range effort that proved too hot to handle for Katasi as Nzoia’s hopes of snatching a point were extinguished. Nzoia however had other ideas as they nicked in another goal in stoppage time for the second consecutive game when Gabriel Wandera held his nerve to slot in a penalty but it proved too little too late as Homeboyz secured maximum points.
