Nairobi — Defending champions Tusker FC’s difficult start to their title defense continued as they suffered a 1-0 loss away to Posta Rangers while Gor Mahia beat Mathare United 1-0 and Vihiga Bullets picked up their first top flight victory on their 13th try.

At the Kasarani Stadium, defender Frank Odhiambo scored in the second half to give K’Ogalo a pressure easing 1-0 victory, bouncing back from four winless matches.

In Kakamega, struggling Wazito lost a third consecutive match at the expense of new boys Bullets who finally celebrated their first victory in top flight football since their promotion.

Michael Isabwa struck thrice for Bullets with Vincent Onyango adding another while Wazito’s consolation goals were scored by Elli Asieche and Tyson Otieno.

At the Utalii Complex, Bidco United halted KCB’s positive run with a 1-0 victory courtesy of Jacob Onyango’s goal. The bankers had to finish the match with 10 men after Robinson Kamura was sent off in the 37th minute.

Meanwhile in Thika, Tusker had hoped to pick their third win on the trot but saw their hunt deflated with a 1-0 loss to Posta, Bernard Ondiek’s goal proving all the difference.

Posta were the better side for most of the game, though Tusker will rue John Njuguna’s missed golden chance of drawing them level late in the game.

The tie was off to a cagy start with not much of scoring chances, except one that fell on Ibrahim Joshua in the 23rd minute. The striker found space to storm into the box and with the ball on his favourite left foot, couldn’t muster a strong shot on target.
