Murang’a Seal continued their impressive run at home by staging a comeback to defeat FKF Premier League giants Tusker FC 2-1 in a match held at St Sebastian Park.

Murang’a Seal good start
Heading into the game against Tusker, Murang’a occupied the third spot on the league table with 17 points, having secured five wins in nine matches.

Fourteen minutes later, Eric Balecho delivered a precise long pass that bypassed a Tusker defender, allowing Batts Awita to collect the ball, dribble past the goalkeeper, and slot it into the net.
