Leaders Gor Mahia Sunday saw their lead cut down to two points after their drew 2-2 with Posta Rangers at Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi.
Red-hot striker Benson Omala had put Gor on the path to victory with glancing headers in the fourth, and 24th minutes, but hard-fighting Rangers reduced the deficit through Calvin Odongo’s 62nd minute strike.
The Mailmen grabbed the equaliser through goalkeeper Gad Mathews' own goal at the stroke of normal time.
“I am very disappointed (by the draw), but not surprised because even in the first half, we were only up because Posta did not defend well, while we have a very clinical striker (Omala),” said a visibly dejected Gor Mahia coach Johnathan McKinstry.
“Other than that I thought we were very poor. We made a couple of changes in the second half to try and rectify but it did not work.”
Posta’s coach John Kamau said they deserved to win the match.
“It is a game that we did not deserve to draw, nor did we deserve to lose. We have lost so many scoring opportunities so we will keep on polishing our attacking third,” said Kamau.
Omala took his tally of the season to 23 goals.
