Kenyan Premier League champions Gor Mahia were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Ushuru at Nyayo Stadium as veteran Chemelil Sugar midfielder Hillary Echesa’s last gasp strike denied Tusker all three points, in Sunday’s dramatic 2-2 draw, at Kenyatta Stadium, Machakos.

The results saw Tusker extend their stay at the top of the table, taking their points tally to 36, five points ahead of Gor Mahia, who leapfrogged Mathare United into the second spot courtesy of a better goal difference.
