Defending champions Tusker have one hand on the 2021-2022 FKF Premier league title crown after boosting their chances of winning a 13th Premier League gong with a comfortable 2-0 win over Bidco United 2-0 at Kasarani Annex on Sunday.

Second half substitutes Rodgers Ouma and Lawrence Luvanda scored the two crucial goals in the final half to help Robert Matano cement his lead at the top of the standings.

Tusker and Homeboyz remain joint top on 60 points but the brewers enjoy a four-goal difference advantage.

Homeboyz collected easy three points after their opponents Talanta failed to show up for their scheduled fixture at Ruaraka Grounds.

The winner of the Premier League title will be known next Sunday when the 2021-2022 season comes to an end.

Tusker will host Posta Rangers at Ruaraka Grounds, while Homeboyz will face Kariobangi Sharks at Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega.

The title will be Tusker’s to loose next Sunday since Kakamega Homeboyz have to score at least five goals to win hoping tusker doesn’t not score. Tusker enjoy a goal difference of four goals.

If Tusker win by 1-0, Homeboyz have to score six goals to be declared champions by virtue of goal difference.
