Robert Matano's men went ahead in the first half through Ibrahim Joshua before Nzoia scored two quick goals in a span of four minutes turn the score board around.

The Tanzanian Joshua scored again to level matters with a 74th minute goal to rescue a point and put Tusker back in the top of the table with a superior goal difference.
