Tusker FC beat National Super League side Vihiga Bullets 4-0 in a training match played Thursday afternoon at the Ruaraka Complex. Goals from Eric Otieno, John Njuguna, Collins ‘Kante’ Otieno and Eric Kapaito gave the brewers victory.
Cioach Robert Matano used two different sets of teams in either half, as he seeks to ensure everyone is match fit ahead of the run in of the FKF Premier League and the Mozzartbet FKF Cup, with our campaign kicking off on Sunday in Ukunda.
Otieno broke the deadlock in the seventh minute of the match, scoring from the rebound after his initial penalty was saved by the Vihiga keeper. Njuguna then added the second in the 16th minute, his ball curling straight into the net from a corner.

On the other end, Edwin Simiyu didn’t have much to do but made a brilliant save halfway through the half from a snapshot inside the box.
In the second half, with a new set of players introduced, the dominance continued. Otieno added the third in the 68th minute with a ferocious shot from the edge of the box after a quick touch took him off three of his markers.

Kapaito then made it 4-0 nine minutes to time when he reacted quickest inside the box to slap the ball home after the keeper had spilled Eric Zakayo’s shot. Kapaito should have actually had a hatrick, but his two shots late on came off the bench.
First, his header from a Zakayo cross bounced off the crossbar while minutes later, a volley inside the box also came off the woodwork.
The team leaves Nairobi Friday morning for Ukunda, ahead of Sunday’s second round Cup game against Bumbani Stars.
