Omondi Brace Lifts KCB Past Tusker in Drama-Filled FKF Opener

KCB FC kicked off their FKF Premier League campaign with a commanding statement, securing a 2-0 victory over Tusker FC at the Kasarani Stadium on Friday, 19 September.

The win, however, was overshadowed by refereeing controversies after KCB finished much of the second half with a player who had already received two yellow cards.

With a busy transfer window behind them, the Bankers—led by new head coach Robert Matano—relied heavily on their fresh signings to deliver in the opening fixture. Tusker, on the other hand, looked out of sorts and contributed to their own downfall.

Former Gor Mahia winger Boniface Omondi stole the spotlight, netting twice in the first half to propel KCB to the top of the table and underline their title ambitions.

His brace not only secured the points but also highlighted Tusker’s fragile defense, which looked vulnerable throughout the encounter.

After a cagey start under the floodlights, Omondi broke the deadlock in the 18th minute when December Kisakah picked him out at the far post. The 30-year-old struck again just before halftime, capitalizing on a rebound from a long throw to double KCB’s advantage in the 41st minute.
