Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards lost ground in the hunt for a Champions League spot when they lost vital points against Wazito FC and Mathare United respectively on Wednesday.
With Tusker FC having won the early fixture against Western Stima, the two clubs knew that nothing short of a win would have given them hope of closing the gap with the leaders.
Gor Mahia drew 0-0 with a much improved Wazito FC with AFC Leopards losing 1-0 to Mathare United to hand the Slum Boys there second win of the season.
At Ruaraka, Eugene Wethuli capitalised on a defensive lapse by AFC Leopards to slot home past Benjamin Ochan to give Frank Ouna his first win as the Mathare United coach.
There was little to separate the two teams but a grave mistake by the Ingwe central defence,perhaps thinking about the halftime break, granted the relegation threaten Mathare.
The win moved the 2008 champions to with within four points of safety as the league enters its latter stages.
At the Thika Stadium, it was Wazito who kicked their legs on the wall after failing to beat reigning champions Gor Mahia in a rescheduled league match that had much to offer.
Wazito despite enjoying huge chunks of possession failed to beat K'Ogalo whose players came into the match demanding their dues. The team failed to train on Tuesday and the effects were clearly seen in this match.
Micheal Owino had the best chance of the game but he spun his chance wide with Gad Mathews to beat.
Will the Brewers take it home or should we bank our money on KCB?
