Elsewhere, Nixon Omondi and Lawrence Juma were on target in the second half to hand 2009 league champions Sofapaka a 2-0 win over visitors Wazito FC at the Dawson Mwanyumba Stadium in Wundanyi, Taita Taveta.

Omondi was at the end of a fine Juma cross to head in the opener in the 72nd minute before Juma got on the scoresheet himself after being set up by an Ambrose Sifuna through pass in the fourth minute of second half stoppage time.
