Walkover for Ingwe as Sharks snub gameBrian Birgen has been impressive for the Soldiers since being entrusted with the captain’s armband, and arguably their best player in a rather bad season, and he continued his brilliance against Posta. His cross 10 minutes in the game almost saw Enosh Ochieng give the hosts the lead, but the latter’s effort went just over the bar.Jackson Dwang had his chance 10 minutes later after beating Ulinzi’s offside trap but his final ball was much wanting as it went flying miles over the bar.Half Time ScoresSofapaka FC 2- 0 Bidco United Ulinzi Stars 0 – 0 Posta Rangers Bandari 2 – 0 Vihiga #Pitchfever#pearlRadioke#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/FuCi9Hn4J7— PEARL RADIO 96.9 KENYA (@PearlRadioKe) May 14, 2022 Ulinzi were forced to an early change in the first half, with Benjamin Nyangweso introducing Daniel Waweru in place of Kevin Thairu after just 30 minutes but the change could not help Ulinzi break the deadlock and the two went into the break level.Both teams had their fair share of chances in the second half, Dwang being involved again at the hour mark but he sent the ball over the bar once again, and John Kago was denied five minutes later by the post.With 10 minutes left to play, Timothy Otieno sent his effort over the bar after being set up by Caleb Olilo, the last clear-cut chance of the game as the two teams went home with a point each.Ulinzi Stars Starting XI: James Saruni, Brian Birgen, Glen Wafula, Bonventure Muchika, Shannel Makwata, Benard Ongoma, John Kago, Clinton Omondi, Stephen Etyang, Kevin Thairu, Enosh OchiengSubs: Stephen Ochieng(GK), Boniface Okinyi, Ezekiel Nyati, Antonio Abwao, Byron Odiaga, Julius Okutu, Daniel Waweru
