Ruthless Sharks tear apart Murang'a SEAL, Tusker held

Salum Ally, Keith Imbali and Andreas Odhiambo scored one each as impressive Kariobangi Sharks sunk Murang'a SEAL 3-0, at the Dandora Stadium on Sunday.

 Sharks, coached by Harambee Stars Assistant Coach William Muluya, were dominant all through, with SEAL struggling to match their pace and skill.

 Speaking after the match, SEAL's Assistant Coach John Njogu admitted Sharks were indeed the better side, saying their game plan did not work as anticipated.

 "The game was good but it is evident that Kariobangi Sharks were the better team today. We are however not losing hope and I believe the next game - which we will play at home, will be ours to lose. We have to bounce back quickly," said Njogu.

 Elsewhere, Tusker FC settled for 2-2 draw with Kakamega Homeboyz, and a similar score was registered in the Ulinzi Stars - Shabana FC match. Ulinzi equalised in the 96th minute from the spot to deny Shabana maximum points.

 No chance to recover

 Back at the Dandora Stadium, Salum got a clear chance in the 17th minute but failed to get the ball past John Mwangi, the Muranga seals keeper.

Sharks took the lead in the 29th minute after a well delivered cross from Fredrick Alushula landed on Salum's path, and made no mistake to put the ball into the net.

 Imbali added the second goal in the 71st minute after his free-kick shot just outside the box was deflected, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance to recover.

 Seven minutes later, Sharks added the third after South Sudan winger Paul Jawa dazzled past his two markers before swiftly finding Odhiambo who sealed the win. 

 In the 41st minute, Sharks thought they had won a penalty after Jawa was fouled in the box, but their protests were ignored.

Kariobangi Sharks however suffered a blow when captain Timothy Ekhari limped off with only five minutes on the clock.
