Days after promising that he would soon be back in his best form, Ulinzi Stars captain Enosh Ochieng’s name was for the first time this season on the scoresheet as the Soldiers completed a second-half turnaround to beat Posta Rangers 2-1 at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos.Having struggled in front of goal since returning to the side from military duties, Ochieng was this time the right man at the right place when he fed off an impressive pass from Brian Kafero to give Ulinzi the lead in the 74th minute.##NAJAVA_MECA_8449357##And what a time for the skipper to score, as Ulinzi also celebrated their first win this season, which pulled them clear of the relegation zone and into 10th place.It wasn’t plain sailing however for Dunstan Nyaudo’s side, as they trailed early in the contest, Curtis Wekesa putting the mailmen in the driving seat after only seven minutes.Ulinzi thought they had levelled matters when Alex Masinde headed in a Javan Omondi cross, only to be flagged for offside.Posta threatened in search of a second, but met the imposing Sylvaine Ricks, who kept Ulinzi in the game going into the half.Nyaudo landed on one of his half-time substitutions when Frederick Oduor, who came on at the beginning of the second period, nodded in an Omondi corner two minutes to the hour-mark to restore parity.And with Posta threatening again, captain Ochieng came to his side’s rescue with 16 minutes to go, sealing an important win for Ulinzi, who can now breathe a sigh of relief after a winless spell to start the season.Enosh Ochieng is the Man Of The Match in the Posta Rangers vs Ulinzi Stars game.#FKFPremierLeague pic.twitter.com/Zs5cEAE6M4— FKF Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) October 27, 2024 With the loss, Posta drop to 16th place with five points from six matches.
