APS Bomet Return To Winning Ways With Victory Over Bandari

LFestus Kipkemoi scored twice as APS Bomet defeated Bandari FC 2-1 in their FKF Premier League clash at Raila Odinga Stadium in Homa Bay on Saturday, November 14.

The forward’s second-half strike proved decisive, handing Bomet their second victory of the season and lifting them to fourth place in the standings with nine points.

Bomet started the match with attacking intent, creating an early opportunity through Uganda international Bruno Bunyaga, whose effort in the 11th minute was saved by Bandari goalkeeper Joseph Ochuka.

The visitors responded four minutes later when Alex Kipruto met Abdallah Hassan’s delivery but sent his attempt over the crossbar.

Bomet continued to threaten, with Brian Buletti heading narrowly wide from Bunyaga’s cross in the 20th minute. Their pressure eventually produced the opening goal six minutes later, when Kipkemoi finished past Ochuka to put the hosts ahead.

Maxwell Kubasu came close to extending the advantage after connecting with another delivery from Buletti, but his effort failed to find the target.

Bandari returned from the break determined to get back into the contest and found an equaliser through Izzadin Ramadhani, who produced a fine finish just after the hour mark.

However, their celebrations were short-lived. Kipkemoi struck again six minutes later to restore Bomet’s lead and complete his brace.

Bandari searched for another equaliser in the closing stages but could not find a way through the home defence.

The result provided Bomet with a response following their narrow 1-0 loss to KCB in their previous outing.

Bandari, meanwhile, missed the chance to register back-to-back victories after beating Tusker last week. The defeat was their second of the campaign.
