Before the goal, Enock Agwanda had gotten hold of a long ball and waited for his teammates. He then found Otieno and the former Wazito FC player faked a pass before pulling the trigger to make it 1-1.The remaining bit of the first half was largely balanced in terms of dangerous attacks but Sharks had much of the ball with nothing to show from it.Sharks were dealt a blow shortly after Moses Shikanda was withdrawn after going down with an ankle, with Fortune Omoto coming on.On resumption for the second half, both teams made changes to their sides. William Muluya introduced the duo of Patrick Ngunyi and Julius Masaba for Isaac Wasambo and Fredrick Alushula while Patrick Odhiambo brought in Chris Masinza and Brian Buleti in place of Enock Agwanda and Felicien Okanda.Shelly-Anne Fraser-Pryce looking forward to raucous return in NairobiBiron Otieno will have his goalkeeper Kevin Ouru to thank after the goalkeeper pulled a superb save to deny Hillary Otieno after the former Dimba Patriots midfielder had given the ball away in a dangerous area.Sharks had a glorious chance from a freekick after Keith Imbali was brought down just outside the area but Tyson Otieno’s effort was tipped off for a corner by Shikhalo.The ever-present Moses Mudavadi gave Kakamega Homeboyz the lead for the first time in the game with three minutes left to go, just when it mattered.Eston Esiye faked a shot before sliding the ball for Mudavadi who blasted the ball into the net to make it 2-1.Things went from bad to worse for Sharks when the referee Wilson Otieno awarded a penalty in favor of the visitors after Brian Buleti was brought down in the box.Substitute Chris Masinza stepped up to take the resultant spot-kick and made no mistake, slotting it past Ouru to make it 3-1.At the Ruaraka Grounds, a first-half strike by Timothy Otieno was enough to see Posta Rangers pick three points against Bidco United and move to eighth on the log.
