The Bankers failed to get revenge for their Wednesday loss to Tusker.
KCB FC endured a nightmarish tie at the Police Sacco Stadium in Nairobi, where they crashed to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Tusker FC to bow out of the FKF Cup at the quarter-finals hurdle on Saturday afternoon.
Goals from Deogracious Ojok and Daniel Odoyo earned the Brewers victory over the Bankers.

FKFPL Tusker’s Sakari happy to sacrifice individual preferences for the team's good
The Kenyan international does not mind filling in at left-back even though he is a right-back by nature
The two teams were battling it out for the tournament’s semifinal spot just two days after they faced each other in a Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) match where the Brewers emerged victorious.
Tusker did most of the attacking in the opening exchanges with Eric Otieno making good runs into the box from midfield.
The Brewers attacker had an opportunity to break the deadlock in the 13th minute, but he placed his effort over the crossbar from close range.
Tusker created a more glaring opportunity towards the half-hour mark when a header from Thomas Teka following a corner kick produced a goal-line clearance from Erickson Mulu.
Moments later Musa Masika nearly opened the scoring for KCB but the striker fired his effort inches wide of Brian Bwire’s post.
The Bankers were not out of it and very nearly found the back of the net when Maurice Owino’s low shot from range in the closing minutes of the first stanza had Bwire at full stretch.

FKFPL Michael Oduor hopes wonder goal "the first of many" for Tusker.
Oduor scored a goal that will rack up the goal-of-the-season contendor highlights against his former club KCB on Tuesday.
KCB were the better team at the start of the second half and came close to scoring just in the 48th when Harrison Mwendwa broke through on goal, but he was superbly denied by Bwire.
Tusker were restricted to long range efforts with Mieno also deciding to have a shot at goal but the midfielder fired his effort well wide of the target.
The Brewers eventually broke the deadlock in the 66th-minute courtesy of Davis Odoyo as he sent a powerful shot past Gabriel Andika.

FKFPL Matano angling for back to back victories over KCB in three days span
Tusker beat KCB 1-0 in a first of two back-to-back fixtures against the same opposition this week.
KCB responded by exerting pressure on Tusker with Apollo Otieno looking the likeliest Bankers player to score.
However, Tusker doubled their lead in the 83rd minute with second-half substitute Deogratious Ojok easily completed Humphrey Mieno’s cross to make it 2-0.

FKFPL Bwire slams the gauntlet at league leaders Gor Mahia
The shot stopper gives two main reasons why he feels K’Ogalo are not going to pip Brewers to the crown.
Kennedy Owino nearly found a consolation with five minutes remaining to the end of the match with a shot from distance but Bwire did well palm the effort away.
That was as good as it got for KCB, who failed to create any openings in the closing stages as Tusker held on for a semifinal spot.
