Alex Orotomal netted a brace as AFC Leopards SC trounced Posta Rangers in the Kenya Premier League (KPL) match played at Machakos stadium today.
The Nigerian import Orotomal thumped in a header for the opener in the 15th minute but Gerson Likono leveled for Posta Rangers for a one all draw in the first half before scoring the winner.
Eugene Mukangula wrestled the ball from Titus Achesa on the left corner before passing to Brian Marita who picked out Orotomal with a cross that he headed in past Posta shot-stopper Gradus Ochieng’.
A defensive lapse from Captain Duncan Otieno saw Likono sneak in a low shot past Ezekiel Owade for the equalizer three minutes after the half-hour mark.
At Camp Toyoyo grounds, Eric Kapaito claimed a hat-trick as Kariobangi Sharks registered their fifth win over Nakumatt in 11 meetings with a 5-2 score line.
George Abege and substitute Sidney Lokale netted Sharks other goals rendering Amani Kyata and John Njoroge strikes in either half null and void.
Elsewhere in Awasi, Felix Oluoch’s first half goal is all Chemelil Sugar needed to down Mathare United easing their relegation fears as the league enters the homestretch.
