Ulinzi Stars, Homeboyz share the spoils in league match

Ulinzi Stars FC forced a 1-1 draw away at Kakamega Homeboyz in an entertaining FKF Kenya Premier League match played on Saturday afternoon at Mumias Sports Complex in Kakamega County.

Homeboyz talisman Moses Shumah slotted a 32nd minute penalty kick to put the hosts ahead after midfielder Glen Masava was fouled in the box.

Ulinzi came back roaring in the second half and capitalized on Homeboyz defensive lapse when Ammaton Samunya headed in from Bornface Muchiri corner kick to even the scores.

Homeboyz striker Oliver Majak one-on-one effort to win the match in the extra time was punched away by Ulinzi goalkeeper Rick Omondi.

Ulinzi Stars head coach Danstan Nyaudo was satisfied with the hard-earned point away from home, but lamented on the back- to-back fixtures in the league causing fatigue to players.

"I’m happy with how my boys played especially in the second half; Homeboyz is a good team, though the players looked fatigued because of the congestion in fixtures, I think the federation should look into that," he said.

On the other hand Kakamega Homeboyz assistant coach Paul Okatwa wasn't happy with his strikers for failing to capitalise on the chances they created.

"We are to blame for allowing Ulinzi to get a draw here, our strikers missed several chances to score, but we will work on our final third in training," he said.
