Police Fight Back From Two Goals Down To Deny Homeboyz Victory

Kenya Police produced a spirited late comeback to claim a 2-2 draw against Kakamega Homeboyz in their FKF Premier League encounter at Bukhungu Stadium on Sunday, November 8.

The law enforcers looked destined for defeat after falling two goals behind, but late strikes from Nana Kusi Asante and Chris Outtara rescued a point for the visitors.

Homeboyz had taken control of the contest through Thomas Omole and Dennis Iguma, who found the net to put Edward Manoah’s side in a strong position.

With a two-goal cushion, the hosts appeared on course to collect maximum points and end their recent struggles in the league.

However, Police refused to give up and mounted their comeback during the closing stages.

Asante reignited the visitors’ hopes with a spectacular effort five minutes before the end of normal time.

His goal reduced the deficit and shifted the pressure onto the home side, who had to withstand a late surge from the visitors.

Police completed the recovery in stoppage time when Outtara rose to head home the equaliser, leaving Homeboyz frustrated after surrendering their advantage.

The result extended Homeboyz’s winless run to four matches and left them in the relegation zone as their difficult start to the campaign continued.

For Kenya Police, the comeback maintained their unbeaten run, which now stands at four matches.

The draw also took them to nine points, providing another positive result in their campaign.
