You like to see it #FKFPL— Zachary Oguda (@zaxoguda) July 30, 2021 Coming into the match, Nzoia had found themselves gradually pulling towards the unwanted areas as only three points was what had separated them from the second bottom place.However, the Ibrahim Shikanda led side produced a dreamed start in the match, opening the scoring floodgates with three strikes within the opening half hour to make their intentions known from the get go before adding a late fourth that condemned the Andre Casa Mbungo coached side to defeat.Just six minutes in, top scoring defender Hillary Simiyu latched onto a Gaetan Masha through pass in the area to give his side the opening goal and a teaser of what was to come.Fourteen minutes after the first strike, the same man who provided the first goal was again at the thick of things as he did all the hard work in setting up the second goal for Kevin Wanyama who tapped into an empty net.Three minutes to the half hour mark, Congolese import Felicien Okanda completed the three goal blitz for the millers as he put Nzoia three goals to the good by the half way interval of the match.Imekua mechi ya kuisahau!
