Title-hunting KCB have bagged the fifth win of the season after beating FC Talanta 2-1 at Kasarani Annex. On a day when their fellow title contenders Tusker dropped points, KCB capitalized on the brewer’s slip to narrow the gap between the two teams to three points. The result means that Talanta have now lost their fourth successive match and risk to drop to the red zone should they fail to arrest the poor run. KCB took the lead in the 30th minute through Henry Onyango who curled the ball to the roof catching glove man James Omusinde flat footed.Full Time:Talanta 1️⃣-2️⃣ KCB #Believe #LionHearted 🦁 pic.twitter.com/qWFbKVOBfo— KCB Football Club (@KCBFootball) January 8, 2023 However, Talanta equalized just minutes later against run of play through Dennis Oalo whose flicked header sailed to the net.Before the two goals, there was nothing to write home about the contest as both teams struggled to create chances and make the few ones count. KCB who looked the better side were good in the build up but lack of precision in the final third gave the Talanta defense an easy time in dealing with their moves. Warm up done.

The former Kariobangi Sharks had pulled the trigger from the box but Omusinde put his palms on the line only for the ball to fall to Mazembe who reacted quickest to poke it home. Coach Zedekiah Otieno introduced fresh legs in a bid to put the match to rest but Talanta kept the scoreline respectable by defending up to the final whistle.KCBBryne Omondi, Nashon Wekesa, Harun Mwale, Maurice Ojwang, Haniff Wesonga, Michael Oduor (John Mwangi 65),Danson Chetambe, Erick Adem (Enock Agwanda 85), Henry Onyango(Derrick Otieno 65)James Mazembe(Kennedy Owino 65), Michael Mutinda Unused substitutes Gabriel Andika, Samuel Mwangi, Francis Kahiro, Nashon Alembi, Brian Ochieng, Mohammed Kilume, Hillary Dukussy, Rama Mwenda, Enock ObieroFC Talanta James Omusinde, Peter Njammah, Erick Shikono, Ian Omondi, Shela Mandela, Castro Ogendo, Mathew Angal, Vincent Owino, Brian Yakhama, Dennis Oalo, Michael Jairo Unused substitutes Kevin Otieno, Luis Masika, George Onyango, Alex Luganji, December Kisaka, Gershon Likono, Alphric Omondi,
