Both teams continued to probe, and Migori, too, looked dangerous on the break. The hosts conjured their best chance of the half with 29th minutes on the clock when Lucky Musyoki's knockdown fell favorably at Kevin Haggai's feet but his deflected effort flashed over Tom Muthomi's crossbar.
Wazito midfielder Kevin Wesonga then hit the crossbar two minutes before Stephen Bwire's left-footed cross was met powerfully by Maxwell Odada but again goalkeeper Victor Kamungo made a timely rescue.
