The Soldiers added their second in the 19th minute, with Airo sending a powerful shot from outside the area with the ball woodwork before sliding into the back of the net.
City Queens’ Melon Mulindi wasted a golden opportunity to find the back of the net when she rose highest to latch on to Mildred Angelina cross, but the forward header sailed wide of the target.
Ulinzi came to life again shortly after that and threatened a second from a delivery across the face of the goal after an excellent passing move, but Lavenda Akinyi missed the target.
Nakuru came out attacking in the second half, and they were rewarded in the 48th minute when the ball found substitute Merceline Wafula in a good position before tapping it inside to make it 2-1.
