Tusker FC completed a double over KCB FC, beating the limping Bankers 2-0 in an FKF Premier League game staged at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos on Sunday afternoon.Heading into the game, Tusker was seeking to build on last weekend’s 4-0 thumping of Shabana FC, while the Bankers were out to avoid a third defeat in a row after losing out to Sofapaka and Kakamega Homeboyz in their last two duels.##NAJAVA_MECA_7881218##The Bankers were determined to avoid another thumping after going down 5-0 to Robert Matano’s men in the first leg played at the Police Sacco Grounds at the start of the year. The first stanza of the match, which was largely cagey, ended in a barren draw.There was little to write home about as both teams saw little action in each other’s danger area. FKFPL: Ingwe drop first points this year in drab affair as Makwata saves SharksThe only chance came Tusker’s way when David Odoyo forced debutant Farouk Shikalo into making a huge save just before the interval.Just before the hour mark, Tusker made two changes that would prove vital in downing the Bernard Mwalala-led Bankers. Shaphan Oyugi and Deogratius Ojok were replaced by Joseph Mwangi and John Njuguna, with Matano opting for a change in tactics up front.Njuguna would prove to be the most important sub as, in the 68th minute, he crossed the ball to Chris Erambo who headed home the opener at the far post. Twelve minutes later, Njuguna nodded home the second of the game after being fed by fellow substitute Mwangi.FULL TIME in Machakos. Full Shangwe.
