FKFPL 10-man Tusker withstand Bandari's wrath to claim win in league opener
The Brewers withstood the hosts’ pressure after David Odoyo’s red card forced them into defending their lead.
Rupia had a couple of half chances in opening half but could not find the target while Sharks made the Police defence work through the incisive running and passing of Fortune Omoto who slotted into the number 10 role following the departure of Tyson Otieno to Police.
The second half was still subdued from either side although Sharks coach William Muluya will be the happy of the two tacticians after seeing his side keep a clean sheet, something that was rare last season.

For Baraza, it is still more work to do to get his new side back to the free-flowing game of last season and he might be forced to make some tough decisions to get the balance right going forward.
At the Sudi Stadium in Bungoma, Nzoia Sugar appear not to have been troubled by the mass exodus of their players and coach as they started the season with a 2-1 victory at home to Ulinzi Stars.
