In Thika, teenage forward Benson Omala bagged a brace in the 61st and 83rd minutes to go top in the Golden Boot race with six goals, one ahead of Tusker's Deogratious Ojok and Kakamega Homeboyz forward Michael Karamor.
Held hostage

At Nyayo Stadium, AFC Leopards fans held players and members of the technical bench hostage after the heavy defeat to Bidco United.
Forward Henry Juma scored two goals, while Eric Kashimu and Fredrick Oduor were also on target for coach Anthony Akhulia charges.

“My players didn’t do well today and we conceded very easy goals in the game. This is not pleasing at all,” said AFC coach Patrick Aussems.
