Tusker FC fought back to secure a point in a 1-1 all-draw against Kariobangi Sharks in an FKF Premier League match staged at the Ruaraka Grounds on Saturday afternoon.Tusker had suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat last time out at the hands of Kenya Police FC while Sharks had salvaged a point in a one-all draw against Bidco United. Sharks had not lost in their last four matches.##NAJAVA_MECA_6996395##The first stanza of the game was largely balanced with a few chances for either side. Tusker’s best opportunities fell to Shami Mwinyi and Ibrahim Joshua but both failed to be John Toldo Otieno on Sharks goal. Tyson Otieno and Moses Shikanda came close for the visitors in a half that ended barren.Five minutes into the second half, Sharks went ahead through starman Tyson Otieno. The midfielder fired home from inside the area after a Julius Masaba cross from the right flank fell to him. Three minutes later, Charles Momanyi had a chance to level the scores but his header from a Humphrey Mieno delivery from a freekick went narrowly over the bar. Otieno was forced to pull a huge save in the 63rd minute denying Jackson Macharia.50: GOAL for Sharks. Tyson Otieno.— 🏆Tusker FC (@tusker_fc) February 4, 2023 Not seeing a response he would love to see from his team, Coach Robert Matano three changes in the 65th minute. Ibrahim, Eric Mmata, and Macharia were taken off for Deogratious Ojok, Eric Zakayo, and David Majak in a bid to bolster what looked like a timid forward line.Majak’s introduction would bear fruits in the 78th minute as he fired home the leveler from close range. He collected a loose ball inside the area before unleashing a shot that left Toldo rooted to the ground. Fellow substitute Ojok nearly made it 2-1 five minutes later but he hit the side net from a very prime position. That proved to be last real chance of the game as the teams shared the spoils.Origi issues rallying call to Kenyan keepers after landing lucrative coaching job in Sweden
