FKF-PL: Ulinzi strike late to hold Sofapaka

Enosh Ochieng struck late to secure a point for Ulinzi Stars as they battled to earn a 2-2 draw against Sofapaka FC during their FKF Premier League clash at the Ruaraka Grounds on Thursday.

Ulinzi opened the scoring with a stunning finish from Timothy Odhiambo following exquisite build-up play from Stephen Etyang and Bernard Ongoma.

The hosts produced another quality moment of their own to restore parity with Evans Malachi beating goalkeeper Ricks Sylvaine with a free-kick on the edge of the box.

Momentum seemed to swing in the favour of Ulinzi in the second half before inadvertently conceding a penalty.

Roddy Manga stepped up to take it but Sylvaine kept out his effort.

That penalty pain was wiped out a few minutes later as Sunday Ikekhai applied a tap in to finish off a good move for Sofapaka to take a 2-1 lead.

 Ulinzi thought they had found the equalizer in the 73rd minute when they had ball in the back of the net but it was ruled out for offside leaving Bernard Mwalala fuming in the stands.

Enosh Ochieng then struck with nine minutes to go after he had been put through by Etyang to level matters and deny the hosts three important points.

The result left Sofapaka in 12th place with 27 points while Ulinzi are eighth position with 34 points.
