Tusker FC have gone top of the Football Kenya Federation Premier League after a narrow 1-0 win against Kariobangi Sharks FC in a match played on Saturday.

Ugandan striker Deogratious Ojok netted the lone goal in the first minute at the Nyayo Stadium. He received a neat pass from Levin Odhiambo and made no mistake giving the Brewers the lead.

The defending champions continued to waste several other scoring chances, as Kariobangi Sharks also tried to push forward.

The win takes Tusker FC to 64 points from 30 matches with four matches left to be played. Tuskre Fc coach Robert Matano admitted that the competition is still very stiff with every remaining match very important. “We shall keep working hard to makes sure we get the points that can help us retain the title,” added Matano.

In the other matches played FC Talanta made sure Vihiga Bullets FC were relegated. The FC Talanta side picked a 1-0 win in a match played at Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega.

The win was crucial for Coach Ken Kenyatta’s charges as it lifted them away from the relegation zone. Wazito also registered a 2-1 win against 10-man Posta Rangers FC at the  Muhoroni Stadium.
