MASHEMEJI DERBY Aussems hails AFC Leopards for "winning easily" against Gor Mahia
Ingwe punished Gor Mahia with their only two shots on target, ending a seven-year winless run against their sworn rivals.
Ulinzi dominated the early exchanges of the game as they looked to carve out clear-cut openings in Bidco defense.
The hosts resorted to sitting deep and defending with the likes of Samuel Ndung'u and Ezekiel Okare looking to use their pace whenever they launched a counterattack.
Bidco then started probing and they were rewarded in the 18th minute when John Nairuka set-up Sameul Ndung'u who broke the deadlock to make it 1-0.
Ulinzi Stars tried to respond with a goal as they pushed forward in numbers with former Sony Sugar marksman Clinton Omondi spearheading their attack.
But Bidco found their second in the 32nd minute through Ndung'u who picked the ball just past the halfway line from Ezekiel Okare's pass and drove defenders all the way before sending the ball past Ochieng in goal.
Lucas Indeche was a spectator in most of the opening stanza until Lameck Oloo's 43rd minute strike which was collected by the goal minder.

Clinton Omondi had a chance to find the back of the net in the 59th minute but the forward sent the ball into the Bidco’s shot-stopper grateful arms.

ATHLETICS Flying Canadian Aaron Brown on why he will keep coming back to Kenya
At the just-concluded Kip Keino Classic, he destroyed a strong field to win the 200m race in 20.12.
Ulinzi were left vulnerable at the back whenever they pushed forward and they were punished in the 68th minute by Ezekiel Okare with an easy tap-in after Stephen Ochieng spilled the ball from Peter Nzuki’s cross from the left.
Second-half substitute Salim Swaleh tried to make an immediate impact, but his effort missed the target, before he placed his low shot inches wide, with Bidco dominating possession.

How they lined up:
Bidco United: Lucas Indeche, David Kalama, Thomas Wainaina, Peter Nzuki, Francis Oduor, John Owira, Samuel Ndungu, Ezekiel Okare, Lameck Oloo, Jacob Onyango, John Nairuka
