Wazito’s Rooney Onyango forced a great save from Godfrey Oputi in the 16th minute with a thumping header from an Asieche delivery. Ten minutes before the break Allan Wanga saw his freekick from a prime position hit the wall.

In the 54th minute, Kevin Kimani thought he had given his side the lead only for his shot to be cleared off the line by Brian Chala. Two minutes later, it was Wazito’s turn to clear the ball off the line, this time Omurwa denying Allan Wanga.Wazito coach Francis Kimanzi made three changes after the hour mark. Whyvonne Isuza, Vincent Oburu, and Joseph Odhiambo were introduced for John Odhiambo, Amos Asembeke, and Fidel Origa as the tactician tweaked his formation to add more punch in attack.The changes worked for Wazito as they took control of the game in the closing stages pinning Homeboyz to their half.
