Tusker FC battled from behind to earn a 1-1 draw against unbeaten Shabana FC in the standout match of Sunday’s SportPesa Premier League Round 4 at Dandora Stadium.

Shabana opened the scoring in the 20th minute when Austine Odongo calmly slotted home after a clever assist from debutant Bronson Nsuguba, who had replaced the injured Brian Michira early in the game.

Elsewhere, Gor Mahia edged KCB FC 1–0 at Dandora, with Felix Oluoch scoring the decisive goal to hand the record champions back-to-back wins, even as Austine Odhiambo missed another penalty.
