James Odoch who is currently the head coach at Express had to make things good on his side. Fans were already demanding for his sacking.

However, in the 56th minute things looked to turn against Express when defender Derrick Ngobi was shown Marching orders following a bookable offence on Rashid Yakini.
This could not stop angry Express till Kayiwa doubled Express FC’s lead in the 70th minute through a penalty kick.
Allan Kayiwa completed his brace in the 87th minute before Marvin Oshaba scored in the 90+ minute to seal the 4 goals of Express.
