Ssenyonjos solo goal scored in the 12th minute his seventh of the season, pulled Ingwe back into the title picture, who over the weekend saw their gap to their arch-rivals balloon to double figures, Ssenyonjo made amends for his earlier miss when Tyson Otieno cleverly slipped a pass between the Nairobi United defense. Ssenyonjo brought it under control and fired home with his right foot to give his side the lead. Ingwe’s 13th win of the season took their tally to 46 points, while Nairobi United, who also lost to Leopards in the first leg, saw their four-game unbeaten run halted, to remain ninth on 33 points.
