The 2022/2023 Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Premier League season title race took a twist on Wednesday after leaders Gor Mahia lost while defending champions Tusker dropped two points.
Kakamega Homeboyz came from behind three times to edge out K'Ogalo 3-2 at Kasarani Stadium, and consequently secure their second win in less than three months against the record champions.
Ugandan international Patrick Kaddu gave Gor the lead in the 11th minute before Ambrose Sifuna drew level on the stroke of halftime.
Gor regained the lead through Austin Odhiambo's effort two minutes into the second half but Kevin Amwayi restored parity in the 56th minute.
While the game looked set to be headed for a 2-2 stalemate, Hillary Juma had other plans as his extra-time goal threw the title race wide open ahead of the final round of the season.
Despite the defeat, Gor Mahia remain top of the table with 67 points, one ahead of Tusker rallied to share the spoils with Posta Rangers (1-1).
The brewers had their own troubles at Ruaraka Grounds after finding themselves trailing 1-0 at the break against struggling Posta Rangers side who had not won seven of their last matches (five defeats and two draws).
Jackson Dwang netted in the ninth minute to give Posta a surprise 1-0 lead before Ugandan Degracious Ojok saved the hosts' blushes with a 54th minute equaliser.
With the result, both Tusker and Gor Mahia are set for a thrilling season ending on June 25.
