Posta Rangers dominated Sofapaka to soar to the top of the league as Murang’a Seal were drowned at the very last minute by FC Talanta, while Kariobangi Sharks’ teenage sensation Stanley Wilson inspired the side to a victory over KCB.
Posta Rangers have ascended to the top of the table after a 3-1 rout of Sofapaka in a match played at the Kasarani Annex on Sunday.
The leaders took the lead through former Tusker vice captain Jackson Macharia’s close range finish in the 49th minute.
They doubled their lead in the 70th minute through new signing Peter Thiong’o, who got on the end of a Caleb Olilo pass to bury it home.
Thiongo added a third which seemingly put Posta Rangers set and match, but Sofapaka scored what proved to be their consolation goal through Oliver Maloba.
