Six minutes later, young goalkeeper Brian Olang’o did well in denying Sharks from succumbing to the early pressure as he prevented Allan Wanga, who had broken clear after latching on a Tom Teka mispass, from finding the back of the net.Two minutes before the half hour mark, there would not be getting lucky for a third time as Shami Mwinyi rounded off his solo effort with a thunderous strike into the back of the net.With eight minutes left before the half time whistle, Mwinyi was again on hand at the right place at the right time to convert a Chris Masinza searching cutback cross into the area for his brace in the game.In the match, there would be no stopping Mwinyi as the midfielder bagged his hattrick after Wanga teed him up for their third goal of the game scored sfter just six minutes of second half’s resumption.After being left clueless for a majority of the game, Sharks were able to pull one back when Peter Lwasa connected well with a Sakari cross into the area, giving his side their first goal of the game in the 69th minute.⏹️| Full time.#WeAreSharks #BetwaySharks pic.twitter.com/Od0vOSgJJt— Kariobangi Sharks FC (@k_sharksfc) July 31, 2021 With thirteen minutes left in the clock, Brian Eshihanda rose highest to head in a delivered cross into the area for Homeboyz’s fourth of the match, a goal that proved to be the final nail in Sharks’ coffin, Muyoti’s side emerging a thumping 4-1 victors.Following the win, Kakamega Homeboyz jumped upto 5th on the log as William Muluya’s Sharks wasted a chance to leapfrog AFC Leopards into third.
