Bajaber slammed home a penalty on 52 minutes that was earned after Samuel Kapen was hacked down in the box by Muranga SEAL skipper Peter Mwaura. Four minutes later Kapen squared a cut back to Oalo who fired to the roof of the net to double matters.
Substitute Yuto Kusaba then sealed the deal with a second penalty of the day. Another substitute Newton Ochieng earned the spot kick after being brought down by, once again, Mwaura.
