Shabana Race From a Goal Down to Hold Kra

GUSII Shabana battled from a goal down to hold KRA to a 2-2 draw in an entertaining Nationwide One game at Gusii Stadium. John Keo struck a brace for the revenue collectors in the 4th and 21st minutes. Dan Ochieng and Japheth Kenyatta replied for the home team in the 17th and 44th minutes respectively. Kenyatta scored a penalty after Dennis Sikai was adjudged to have fouled Nelson Chieta in the box. However, KRA protested against the decision by the decision by referee Eliakim Mbaliwa to award a spot kick. But while KRA coach Ken Kenyatta complained bitter about officiating his Gusii Shabana counterpart Rashid Omar thought the refereeing was above average and rued their missed chances. "We wasted a lot of chances but I'm happy with the point against a very strong team," he said. The game was graced by newly elected Football Kenya Association Nyanza South branch officials led by the chairman Peter Omwando, vice chairman Samuel Omwoyo and Kisii sub branch chairman Wilfred Muma. In Muhoroni, Mahakama revived their promotion hopes after a 1-0 win over Agro Chemicals. Ambrose Kamau scored the all important goal in the 31st minute. In Naivasha, Nakuru All Stars held Oserian to a 2-2 draw.
