FKF Premier League: KCB edge out Ulinzi Stars to cut Tusker’s lead to four points

David Simiyu struck at the death as KCB narrowed the gap between them and leaders Tusker to four points after fighting from a goal down to defeat Ulinzi Stars in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League match played at Thika Stadium on Wednesday.

Masita Masuta had given the soldiers a narrow 1-0 halftime lead before Derrick Otanga restored parity for KCB on 53rd minute from the spot.

The bankers would seal all maximum points after Simiyu’s trickery in the soldiers' box opened a chance for him to score the winner in the 90th minute.

KCB are now on 51points, four behind leaders Tusker and with a game in hand. Ulinzi remain 10th on 34 points.

The bankers, who are chasing their maiden league title, have the opportunity to close the gap to within one point when they play their game in hand.
