In the previous five meetings in the top tier, MKU had won three and the other two ended in a draw. Heading to this clash they had given a walkover against Gor Mahia after players refused to honour the clash due to demands for unpaid salaries.
The clash which was played in a drizzling afternoon looked like it was head for a goalless draw but just before halftime MKU scored from a corner kick.
