The match between Zoo Kericho and Nzoia Sugar played at the Kericho Green Stadium ended in a 2-2 draw on Wednesday.
Nzoia Sugar were the first to appear on the score sheet, with Lawrence Juma curling home a beautiful free kick at the half hour mark.
Zoo Kericho’s Danson Namasaka responded with an even more beautiful free kick at the stroke of half time.
The panache with which he struck the ball could have led one to think that he was flaunting his dead ball technique, but for the accurate outcome.
Moments before the half time whistle, the visitors were celebrating their second goal when Vincent Ngesa pounced on a loose ball spilled on his path by Zoo goalkeeper Richard Omboko to mete out punishment.
Zoo frantically pressed hard for the equalizer but had to wait until the 88 minute to make the breakthrough, inevitably.
Geoffrey Gichana turned expertly and outwitted Nzoia custodian Mustapha Oduor with a dummy shot that was completely bought before sending the ball into the empty net.
