Equity and Dandora Youth share points in FKF Division One thriller

Dandora Youth and Equity FC played out an exciting 2-2 draw during the opening weekend of the FKF Division One on Friday, September 27, 2024, at Dandora Stadium.

The first half saw Dandora Youth dominate possession, frequently pressing forward and creating chances. Despite their control, they struggled to break through a resilient Equity defence. In a surprising turn just before the halftime whistle, Equity’s Baraka Kevin latched onto a quick counter-attack, scoring a well-taken goal that put the visitors ahead at the break.

Equity capitalized on their momentum in the second half, doubling their lead in the 61st minute through a composed finish from Collins Odhiambo. The visitors looked in control, but Dandora Youth was far from finished.

Determined to claw their way back into the game, Dandora Youth’s coach made a bold substitution, bringing on Maxwell Mboya in the 64th minute. The impact was almost immediate, with Mboya finding the net just moments after coming on, reducing the deficit to 2-1 and reigniting hopes for the home side.

With the clock ticking down, Dandora Youth increased the pressure in search of an equalizer. Their persistence paid off in stoppage time when Clifford Kipenzi scored a dramatic late goal to make it 2-2, rescuing a valuable point for the hosts in front of their home fans.
