FC Talanta came from a goal down do trounce Eldoret Youth 3-1 in an FKF National Super League match played on Sunday, December 2, 2018, at Camp Toyoyo.
Kevin Cheti had set the NSL debutants off with a goal in the 14th minute. Talanta would however restore parity at the stroke of halftime through Rodgers Omondi for a 1-1 halftime score.
Upon resumption, the hosts upped the ante and deservedly got a second goal courtesy of a looping header by Ronny Katumanga.
Michael Muya would thump in a header from a well taken corner kick for the hosts third, handing Eldoret Youth a rather harsh welcome to the second tier league.
In the second match played at the same venue, Kangemi All Stars also came from behind to edge out Kibera Black Stars 2-1, thus getting their 2018/2019 campaign underway on a high.
