Homeboyz had proven to be Kariobangi Sharks’ bogey team, even smashing them 6-1 the last time both sides met.
Kariobangi Sharks head coach William Muluya has expressed satisfaction at finally being able to get one over Kakamega Homeboyz as Julius Masaba netted a last-gasp goal from a counterattack to give them a much-needed three points.
The game was very even, with both sides struggling to test each other significantly in the opening half, before Masaba’s goal in the very last minute of stoppage time gave them the crucial win, finally getting one over Homeboyz, who tore them aside last season.
