Goalkeeper Vincent Misikhu played a pivotal role in the win, saving crucial shots and frustrating the efforts of Sharks' forwards led by Sydney Lokale and Erick Kapaito.
The decisive goal for Kericho Zoo was scored in the 38th minute by Samuel Olwande, who unleashed a powerful volley from a foul past Sharks custodian John Oyombe.
This was the second loss in a row for Kariobangi Sharks at the same venue, following their 1-0 defeat to defending champions Gor Mahia two weeks prior.
