The fight to avoid relegation in the SportPesa Premier League took another dramatic turn yesterday as Ulinzi Stars moved out of the bottom three with a crucial 2-1 comeback win over Mathare United.

Ulinzi are still not safe from relegation, but the important victory gave the soldiers fresh hope in their battle to remain in the top flight next season.

Mathare United had taken the lead through Adams Nyambane before Paul Okoth inspired Ulinzi’s comeback with two goals. His brace handed the soldiers three valuable points and lifted them above Kariobangi Sharks in the standings.
