Defending KPL Champions Ulinzi Stars FC had the last smile after 90 minutes yesterday after edging past league leaders Tusker 2-1 at the Nyayo National Stadium.
Ulinzi were the first to draw first blood when Skipper Evans Amuoka landed a one touch from Lawrence Owino off a  long goal kick  that sent Tusker custodian Bonface Oluoch the wrong way.Tusker equalized  in the 45th min at the stroke of half time after an Itubu Imbem capitalized on Geoffrey Kokoyo's blander.Hillary Echesa had to be forced to step out for Mukaisi after getting an injury.
In the second half it was the brewiers who looked more sharper and could have scored the second but an individual  footwork by Harambee Stars striker Stephen Waruru in the 58th minute was the decider.
The win put the Soldiers at 40pts,three points of Tusker therebye putting the KPL more unpredictable.
