Sunday 18 May will go down as a historic day in the FKF Premier League following Sofapaka’s unprecedented 7-1 thumping of Tusker at Dandora Stadium, a result that poured freezing cold water on the Brewer’s hopes of winning a title this season.In a rare showing from both sides, Sofapaka delivered a master class of a performance to overwhelm Charles Okere’s side, setting one of the biggest scorelines the league has seen in recent history.FTSofapaka 7-1 Tusker #FKFPL pic.twitter.com/la9mGgvwlw— FKF Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) May 18, 2025 Forward Jack Onganya was the star of the show on a day that saw lovely strikes go in, delivering a hat trick that saw his goal tally go up to seven this season.Having come off a 2-0 defeat to a side battling relegation in the midweek, no one would have predicted Sofapaka to put together such a display against the so-called title contenders.FKFPL: Gor Mahia stumble once more in title race as Shabana is stunned at homeBut a ruthless first half from Ezekiel Akwana’s side served up one of the classics, as Batoto Ba Mungu, fuelled by a considerable home crowd, put up four past a seemingly non-existent backline.The harrowing scene for Tusker began after only three minutes, when Edward Omondi seared through a weak Tusker backline to score the opener, with Wayne Dalvin Otieno adding a second three minutes before the half-hour mark with a right-foot curler that found the top-right corner (stuff that comes when your nick-name is Messi).Shumah scores 17th goal of season as Kakamega Homeboyz sink SharksAs the goals went in, Sofapaka players, perhaps in a brazen show of disrespect and apparent show in class on this day, engaged in a synchronised dance near the corner-flag.Meanwhile, the Tusker defenders kept pushing blame to the nearest teammate, and it wouldn’t take long till skipper Charles Momanyi was showing four fingers to his fellow defenders, moments after Onganya had fed off two delightful assists from Omondi in the 36th and 45th minutes respectively.A flurry of changes from Okere in the second-half provided little respite when his side conceded a penalty straight after the break, that Rodgers Kipkemoi scored.Sofapaka 5⃣-1⃣ TuskerSafe to say @FC_Sofapaka are enjoying this outing 😁#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/5xFugBxIqQ— FKF Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) May 18, 2025 An Edward Olak own-goal proved to be just a mere consolation for the yellow and black, as Omondi added his second with seven minutes left, and the platform duly set for Onganya to complete his three-piece and a surprising rout with a long-range strike that came off the underside of the crossbar and into the net.Joy for the young man who showed the match-ball to the applauding crowd, but disaster for Okere and his “quitters”, as he referred to them as post-match.Full time pic.twitter.com/nwwRRyR3OU— Tusker FC (@tusker_fc) May 18, 2025 Police inch closer to maiden league titleElsewhere at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos, league-leaders Kenya Police pulled themselves to within a win away from their first FKF Premier League tittle after seeing off on-form Talanta 1-0.Off a bruising defeat to Kakamega Homeboyz, Police needed to redeem themselves under minimal pressure, and they did just that, securing the all-important victory thanks to a David Simiyu strike inside the first 15 minutes.Scenes after the whistle#FootballKE pic.twitter.com/kE03zM9ZP6— KENYA POLICE FC (@PoliceFCKE) May 18, 2025 A 17th win for Ettiene Ndayiragije’s side means they only need three points from their last two fixtures to clinch the championship.Oh how they will have loved to see their closest challengers stumble on their own accord.
