FKFPL Otieno reveals how Ulinzi Stars frustrated Kenya Police
The soldiers were on the back foot against the law enforcers for over 60 minutes but a Stephen Etyang free-kick saw them share the spoils
Etyang proved a real nuisance to the Kenya Police defence as he narrowly missed on the half-hour mark, shrugging off Omar Bongi down the Kenya Police left before finding the feet of Job Ochieng at his near post.
He went close again, too quick and powerful for Baraka Bandi on the left, but the sharp corner got the better of him again as Elly Saenyi's shot was blocked.
It was the first goal that Etynag has scored in the current season for the soldiers, who have Enos Ochieng as their leading scorer with six goals.
