Kapen teed up Mohammed for the first on 37 minutes, and Asenwa dummied over confusing the defense, for the first goal from close range.
Mohammed returned the favor for Kapen who then laid it for Asenwa to finish off the second on 58 minutes. Kapen then finished it off with a great counterattack move beating a center back before placing the ball under the arms of the keeper for the third on 77 minutes. He was later named the MVP.
Man of the Match, Nairobi City Stars Vs FC Talanta.
