At the quarter hour, the hosts had their first chance on goal. Ali Bai and Elie Asieche combined upfront before the latter dummied Michael Karamor. The former Sofapaka striker tapped in on goal, but Kevin Omondi reacted by stretching wide to make an important block using his right foot.
Five minutes later, field captain Titus Achesa floated in a teasing ball into Homeboyz’s defense, finding David Nshimirimana, who brushed the ball to Ronack Otieno, but keeper Babu in goal for Homeboyz rushed in to collect the ball.
At the half-hour mark, we attacked yet again. Baron Oketch picked out Geoffrey Ojunga’s pass and dribbled past Robinson Kamura, but Homeboyz keeper Babu made a quick response to make an important block to deny the host from taking the lead.
Five minutes before break, a quick search by Brian Wepo found Maqbul Ocholla. The youngster dummied to Titus Achesa, but the captain blasted his effort wide with the keeper to beat.
