On Sunday, Kakamega Homeboyz put up a gallant fight to force a 2-2 draw against Ulinzi Stars in a Kenyan Premier League match at Afraha Stadium, Nakuru.
Homeboyz were superior in ball control, and it came as no surprise when Stephen Wakhanya netted his first goal of the season with a superb header past goalkeeper Jackton Odhiambo in the 22nd minute.
However, Ulinzi Stars top marksman Enosh Ochieng' atoned for his earlier miss at the half-hour mark when he beat Homeboyz goalkeeper Gabriel Andika with a blockbuster for his sixth goal of the season.
On resumption, the soldiers returned the better side and deservedly took the lead in the 56th minute through John Kago, who unleashed a first-time volley that caught Andika off-guard.
But Homeboyz refused to give up, and in the 91st minute, Peter Thiong'o fired home to secure a point for his side.
Ulinzi coach Benjamin Nyangweso made two changes, recalling Ezekiel Okare and Boniface Andayi for John Njuguna and Omar Mbongi respectively. Nicholas Muyoti, Homeboyz coach, replied by resting Wakhanya and David Okoth for Noah Wafula and Solomon Omondi.
