A last minute goal by Karuturi Sport striker Mohammed Mwachiponi was enough to rescue the Tusker Premier League side from a would be painful loss against midweek opponents Talanta FC at Finlays grounds on Wednesday 3 October 2012.

The second leg substitute was at hand to salvage a 3-3 draw against the determined newly-formed side FC Talanta who are also set to play in the FKF Cup over the weekend.

Comeback

Karuturi were however in a comfortable 2-0 lead into the halftime break through a brace from Ugandan import Zzinda Hussein in the 28^th and 30^th minute from Allan Otindo and Peter Juma respective cross-ins.

The hosts however found the going tough in the second half with Talanta throwing all they had in their direction. The visitors’ efforts bore fruits through a Zachary Onyancha strike and a Nelson Okumu penalty in the 66^th minute for a 2-2 draw.

It was not done for Talanta as they pressed forward and took the lead in the 88^th minute through another Zachary Onyancha strike.

Karuturi hit back in the final minute to get the all-important draw ahead of their weekend match against AFC Leopards. Talanta play Tusker FC in another FKF Cup fixture.
