Nzoia Sugar bounced back from last weekend’s loss to Kariobangi Sharks with a come-from-behind 3-2 win over Nairobi City Stars in a league match staged at the Kasarani Annex on Saturday afternoon.Heading into the game, City Stars were out to extend their unbeaten run to eight matches, while Nzoia were out to bounce back from last weekend’s defeat to Kariobangi Sharks and keep their slim chances of clinching the league title alive.##NAJAVA_MECA_7299437##Three minutes into the game, the home team got off to a dream start when Dennis Oalo, who had repaid for his good cameo performance against the AFC Leopards with a start against the Millers, fired Simba Wa Nairobi. James Mazembe, who had assisted the goal, was withdrawn three minutes later after picking up an injury.Both teams had chances after that early opener, but they went to waste. Oalo and Etemesi were the home team’s main attacking threats, while Yasin Sije, Joseph Mwangi, James Kibande, and Hassan Beja were the dangermen for the Millers. Ten minutes before the interval, Beja equalized for the home team, a goal that many would agree was deserved. The first half ended all square.Sven minutes into the second half, Sije put Nzoia Sugar ahead, and six minutes later, things went from bad to worse for Simba wa Nairobi when Vincent Owino, who conceded a freekick that yielded the equalizer in the first half, was given his marching orders for a second bookable offense.From there, the millers had more room to knock the ball around and create more chances. Sije got his brace and Nzoia’s third of the game in the 73rd minute to put the match beyond the home team’s reach. The home team pulled a goal back late on from the spot through Kelvin Etemesi but it was a little too late as the visitors walked home with maximum points.Next for City Stars is an away game against FC Talanta while Nzoia will be at home against KCB. Both matches will be played on Saturday.Fearless Matano fires back at Wazito ahead of Muhoroni clash
