Bandari thrash Wazito, Tusker go top

Bandari crushed Wazito FC 4-1 as they emerged from a rough Kenyan Premier League (KPL) patch in emphatic style at the Mbaraki Sports Club, Mombasa on Friday.

Shaban Kenga notched a brace sandwiched between David Otieno’s own goal and Yema Mwana scored late on to round off the rout with Mohammed Siraj also scoring into his own net for Wazito’s consolation.

Elsewhere in Kasarani Luke Namanda hit an eight-minute brace to lead Tusker FC’s 3-1 comeback victory over Kariobangi Sharks who had gone ahead in the first half through Kevintom Machika.

Cliff Kasuti was Wazito’s chief destroyer in the first half, setting up Kenga’s opener and had a shot deflected in by Otieno as the hosts raced to a 2-0 first half advantage.

It was an own goal show as Siraj Mohammed got the visitors back it it a minute to the end of first half after he had failed to control Victor Ndinya’s cross.

The Dockers returned from the tunnel a more energized side with Mwalala throwing in Benjamin Mosha and Dan Guya for Willy Lugogo and Cliff Kasuti.

Kenga was again in the score sheet in the 81st minute after Wazito keeper Kevin Onyango failed to clear Collins Agade long pass.

Three minutes later Yema Mwana completed the party at Mbaraki finishing in an empty net after Benjamin Mosha left Wazito goalkeeper in the ground.

The win takes Bandari to the 12th position in the log with 12 points one shy of Wazito who are 13th.
