Tusker, who have an inferior goal difference compared to the Millers have a game in hand. While K’Ogalo looked destined to end Nzoia’s unbeaten run at home, substitute James Kibande salvaged things for the coach Salim Babu’s side with an 82nd minute strike from the spot.

Lethal striker Benson Omala had restored the 19-time champions’ lead with his 18th strike of the season at the hour mark. This is after Nzoia defender Ian Karani scored in the 41st minute to cancel out Austin Odhiambo’s third minute goal for K’Ogalo.

“It is not easy for teams to win here (Sudi Stadium) because of the high level of confidence and fan base,” said Babu. “We have to fight to keep this record because it is possible as long as we continue with the way we have been playing. It is the confidence that kept us pushing even when we were behind against Gor.”

During their first leg home matches, Nzoia defeated Sofapaka (1-0), Nairobi City Stars (1-0), Wazito (4-0) and Vihiga Bullets (2-1). They were held by Bandari (0-0), AFC Leopards (0-0) and Posta Rangers (1-1).

K’Ogalo, coached by Irish Johnathan McKinstry won the first leg of the clash by a solitary goal.
