Tusker moved three points clear at the helm of the FKF Premier League after seeing off defending champions Gor Mahia 2-1 in a top of the table match played at Machakos Stadium which hosted a double header Saturday.
The early kick off match saw new Nairobi City Stars tactician Salim Babu watch his side from the stands hold KCB 1-1.
In Mombasa, Shabana led, but failed to hold on as Bandari rallied to rescue a point after a 1-1 draw at Mbaraki Sports Complex as Kenya Police narrowly edged out Muranga SEAL 1-0.
FKF Premier League top scorer Ryan Ogam netted a brace to inspire Tusker win their 10th win of the 2024-2025 season.
Ogam gave the brewers the lead in the 50th minute before Austin Odhiambo levelled with a well taken free-kick in the 69th minute.
