Unlucky Kariobangi Sharks let Bandari off the hook with self inflicted draw

Kariobangi Sharks held Bandari at Mbaraki Grounds, Mombasa, to a 1-all draw, putting an end to their two-match losing streak in a Football Kenya Federation Premier League match on Friday afternoon but they will have themselves to blame for letting the three points slip through their fingersPatrick Otieno scored for the visitors in the first half before they spoilt their party with an own goal in the second half to share the spoils and pick a vital point from the visit to Mombasa.This was the first game that the two team have played to a barren draw since the promotion of Kariobangi Sharks, with Bandari winning six of the other 10 encounters between the two teams.Yametimia madakika!
