Two matches were on the cards as curtains came down on the first leg of the FKF National Super League on Saturday, March 9, 2019.
Kangemi All-Stars’ 5-3 win over Migori Youth was the highlight of the day at Camp Toyoyo. Guests Migori Youth had gone two nil up at the half-hour mark with goals from Mark Osewe and Samuel Plampan in the 5th and 31st minutes respectively.
Kangemi All-Stars would, however, produce a comeback when Joseph Luchenga, Moses Osure, and Geoffrey Ochieng netted a goal apiece to flip the match in the hosts’ favor.
Migori’s Benjamin Owuso restored parity in the 70th minute but two late goals by Beneventure Atse and Moses Osure saw Kangemi come out with all three points.
At the Thika Stadium, in the meantime, Administration Police came from a goal down to beat hosts Bidco United 2-1.
Sean Opwora had put the hosts on the front foot in the 30th minute for a 1-0 halftime lead, but two quickfire goals by Abbas Karim and Etemesi Asumwa saw the guests run away with all three points.
