Block buster

A goal within 35 seconds of kick off from Paul Mungai Kiongera sent KCB 1-0 up. At the half hour mark it was 2-0 after an unmarked Edwin Mwaura, incidentally a former Rangers player punished his former keeper Victor Omondi with a low shot.

However in the very next minute, on loan striker Baldwin Ngwa who turns out for Gor Mahia completed his run with a connection to a long cross to lob past a diving Sammy Okunda in the KCB goal.

At the stroke of half time, Geoffrey Maina sent a block buster to the top of the roof from close range to send KCB to the break with an impressive 3-1 lead.

Bottom

With ten minutes to go, KCB should have made it 4-1 when substitute Jacob Keli earned a penalty after being tripped by Ragners defender Emmanuel Chimaroke. 

Kiongera stepped up but to take the penalty but he slammed a hard rising shot against the cross bar as the ball rolled out.

The game ended with no further goals as the score remained at 3-1.

KCB is now tenth with 30 points from 25 games as Rangers FC remains 16^th and bottom ten points back.
