Kisumu All-Stars took a first-leg advantage to keep their Kenyan Premier League hopes alive after beating Vihiga United 2-1 at Mumias Sports Complex on Saturday.
The first leg encounter was held after it had initially been postponed owing to the coronavirus restrictions that are still in place. It took persistent Football Kenya Federation (FKF) requests to the government to have the playoffs held under strict guidelines.
Kisumu All-Stars will now head into the second leg – which will be played on November 3 – with an advantage over the Vihiga County side.
Willies Otenda powered the visitors into the lead in the fifth minute from the penalty spot and Vihiga United were unable to find an equaliser before the game went into the half-time break.
