Two homegrown talents combined to lift Tusker on top of the FKF Premier League standings after registering an important 2-1 victory over Posta Rangers at Dandora Stadium on Friday 14 March.All making their full-league debuts, former Tusker Youth players Teddy Dok and David Polepole scored a goal each in a strong first-half for the Brewers, who finally put to an end to a run of six games without a win in all competitions.FULL TIME in Dandora.BIG BIG W!We needed that!#KenyaMilele #GameNiYetu pic.twitter.com/dxKKDPkOPQ— Tusker FC (@tusker_fc) March 14, 2025 Dok opened the scoring for Charles Okere’s side in the 25th minute, when he chested a fine Polepole pass before firing past Kevin Ouru, who got a hand onto the strike but could not stop it from hitting the net.Just four minutes later, Polepole turned to be goal-scorer after cutting in from the left and lashing a low shot into the bottom corner.Fully in control, the hungry Brewers ramped up the pressure and almost got a third when Eric Balecho fired a shot goal-wards, only for Ouru to produce a flying save.##NAJAVA_MECA_8780449##Midfielder David Odoyo, on two occasions in first-half stoppage time, spurned opportunities to extend the lead for Tusker – first firing wide after Bernard Ondiek had slipped while in possession, and later hitting the side-netting after Faustine Ojiambo had played a ball to his path.The second period saw Sammy Omollo’s side mount attacks on the Tusker rearguard, and their efforts were rewarded five minutes after the hour-mark when Felix Oluouch headed in a corner past Brian Opondo.New Gor Mahia star enthralled by Mashemeji history, eyeing derby dominanceTusker were forced to defend in the latter stages of the game, with Okere sacrificing a midfielder for an extra defender.It was his side however who got close to putting the tie to bed, but substitute Dennis Iguma placed Chrispine Erambo’s pass wide.In a late counter-attack, Polepole drew a big save from Ouru, and a late injury to Lewis Shivachi extended what looked inevitable – a Tusker win at last.Their victory sees them go two points above Kenya Police who play over the weekend, while Posta remain in relegation danger as they are only three points above the bottom three having played a game more.
