Marksman John Makwata scored a hat-trick as Ulinzi Stars rediscovered their winning formula to dismiss stubborn Ushuru 3-2 in an entertaining Kenyan Premier League match at Afraha Stadium in Nakuru.
As Makwata shone for the soldiers, defender Cylus Shitote was given marching orders for intentionally handling the ball in the box after being overwhelmed by Ushuru striker Roosevelt Blaty and striker Mohammed Diallo in their efforts to score. The referee awarded a penalty, which Maurice Odipo successfully converted for Ushuru’s second goal in the 44th minute.
