Any lingering doubts or question marks surrounding Eric Kapaito’s initial form at Tusker FC were quelled once again and subsequently diminished as the striker scored a hattrick to lead the Brewers to a 5-0 humbling of KCB at the Police Sacco Grounds on Sunday afternoon.Still reeling off a double against Bidco United last month, the two-time FKF Premier League top goal-scorer opened the floodgates early on for Robert Matano’s side, as he thwarted a ball from Lawrence Luvanda off the underside of the bar and past the goal-line for a lead inside the first five minutes of the game.#FKFPL: Tazama shuti hili la Erick Kapaito akiitanguliza Tusker FCKCB FC 0-2 Tusker FCIko LIVE #AzamSports3HD#AzamSports3HD #LigiKuuKenya #FKFPremierLeague #LigiKuu #KCBFCVsTuskerFC #KCBFC #TuskerFC #KCBTusker pic.twitter.com/197FqShySH— Azam TV (@azamtvtz) January 7, 2024 The hosts, in search of an equalizer, forced Tusker keeper Brian Bwire to a string of saves – from James Mazembe and Derrick Otanga – before left-back Levin Odhiambo produced another stunning shot from range, this time forcing a stretched hand from Gabriel Andika that couldn’t stop the ball kissing the net.##NAJAVA_MECA_7781562##With a goal to his name, Kapaito was awarded the assist to the second goal and saw his side lead 2-0 at the half.The second half was a similar tale, as Tusker scored minutes into the half, and from a piece of individual brilliance.#FKFPL: Tazama hii tik tak ya Erick Kapaito akiiandikia goli tatu Tusker FC.KCB FC 0-5 Tusker FC#AzamSports3HD #LigiKuuKenya #FKFPremierLeague #LigiKuu #KCBFCVsTuskerFC #KCBFC #TuskerFC #KCBTusker pic.twitter.com/pbfEzZj0rG— Azam TV (@azamtvtz) January 7, 2024 A long Tusker ball in the 53rd minute was laid onto the path of Luvanda who played on Kapaito for an overhead kick that deservedly drew no save from Andika.Three goals up, Kapaito was still hungry for more, as he stepped up to slot his penalty past a hapless Andika after the keeper had got off his line and brought down substitute Shaphan Siwa.The icing on the cake was applied when two other substitutes combined, this time Stewart Omondi setting up Joseph Njuguna for the fifth goal, and a fourth consecutive win for Tusker.#FKFPL: 5G ya Tusker ikasimikwa namna hii na John Njuguna.FT: KCB FC 0-5 Tusker FC#AzamSports3HD #LigiKuuKenya #FKFPremierLeague #LigiKuu #KCBFCVsTuskerFC #KCBFC #TuskerFC #KCBTusker pic.twitter.com/ab1DEETMQM— Azam TV (@azamtvtz) January 7, 2024 The win takes the Brewers to fifth place on the log with 28 points and just nine off leaders Gor Mahia.Elsewhere at the Machakos Stadium, Zedekiah Otieno’s reign as the new Sofapaka head coach began with a flier, as his team secured a huge 3-0 win over Bidco United.Joseph Onyango gave Batoto ba Mungu the lead after eight minutes and added another late in the first half after Darius Msagha had doubled the scoring to inflict a fifth league defeat on the visitors.With the win – their fifth this season – Sofapaka are up to 16th on the standings with 17 points, same as Ulinzi Stars who lost earlier in the day to AFC Leopards.Oundo header delivers Ingwe vital win over Ulinzi
