Deogratius Ojok and Patrick Kaddu scored but their team's Tusker FC and Gor Mahia couldn't take advantage to win their games in the Kenya Premier League.
There was madness on the penultimate day of the Kenya Premier League as both title-chasers Gor Mahia and Tusker faltered.
Gor Mahia, under former Uganda Cranes coach Jonathan McKinstry, could’ve sealed the title with a victory over Kakamega Homeboyz but it was the visitors who stunned them 3-2 in Nairobi.
The Irishman started Patrick kaddu and Fred Lwasa upfront, with the former repaying his faith with a strike in the 9th minute.

Kaddu started ahead of Omala who was not fully fit, and although he did not score a goal, directly contributed to both goals by John Macharia and Austin Odhiambo with his excellent hold up and link up play.
The visitors equalized, but Austin Odhiambo restored the lead shortly after the break.
However, things turned south as McKintry’s team conceded twice to lose the game.
On the other side of Nairobi, former BUL FC striker Deogratius Ojok's second-half strike was not enough for Tusker to take advantage of their opponent's slip.
Ojok scored, but his goal could only save a point for Tusker as they came from down to share spoils against Posta Rangers in a 1-1 draw.
The results leave Gor Mahia in the lead with 67 points, one ahead of Tusker into the season's final game.
