An eight goal thriller unfolded at Bukhungu Stadium as a resilient Nairobi City Stars scored two late goals to rescue an almost unlikely point against log leading Kakamega Homeboyz who had looked like a side that will get the job done only to be pegged back in the thrilling encounter played on Thursday evening.Leading 4-2 with only twelve minutes left on the clock, a couple of goals from Erick Ombija and Davis Agesa in the 79th and 83rd minute ensured that spoils would be shared between the top two sides in the league as the match ended in an even stevens 4-4 affair.GOAL FEST IN KAKAMEGA! @FcHomeboyz and @NrbCityStars play out a fiesty 4-4 draw at the Bukhungu Stadium.

By the 25th minute, the team were already two goals up courtesy of goals from Brian Eshihanda and a David Okoth penalty.The game then burst into overdrive as City Stars, stunned by the scoreline, went in search of redemption.Full Time:End of a goalfest here in Bukhungu.
