Late Goals Shape Sunday’s Kenya Premier League Results

Late goals and second-half comebacks shaped Sunday’s FKF Premier League action, with Posta Rangers, Kenya Police and Murang’a Seal all collecting important points from their respective fixtures.

Posta Rangers were among the day’s biggest beneficiaries after defeating Mathare United 2-1 at Embu Stadium.

Robert Ponda scored twice to secure the Mailmen’s second victory of the season and lift them out of the relegation zone.

Ponda opened the scoring in the 16th minute before completing his brace shortly after the restart.

Mathare threatened to recover when Elli Asieche converted a penalty five minutes from time, but John Njau made a decisive late save to preserve Rangers’ advantage.

The defeat extended Mathare’s difficult run to two consecutive league losses, pushing them into the bottom positions.

At Bukhungu Stadium, Kenya Police avoided defeat after recovering from two goals behind to draw 2-2 with Kakamega Homeboyz.

Thomas Omole and Dennis Iguma had given the hosts a commanding lead, but Nana Kusi Asante and Chris Outtara scored in the closing stages to rescue a point for Police.

The result extended Homeboyz’s winless sequence to four matches, leaving them in the relegation zone.

Police, meanwhile, stretched their unbeaten run to four games and moved to nine points.

Murang’a Seal also demonstrated their resilience by recovering from a two-goal deficit to share the points with Ulinzi Stars in a 2-2 draw.

Joseph Ochieng and Alex Masinde had put the Soldiers ahead before Josephat Logapa pulled one back with his seventh goal of the campaign.

Mark Mwaniki then struck late to complete Seal’s comeback.

The three matches highlighted the importance of late contributions, with none of the losing or trailing sides managing to protect their initial advantage..
