Oalo’s goal topped up on Robinson Asenwa’s opener on 59 minutes to complete a come-from-behind win that ended a 13-match winless run stretching back to last season.
Simba wa Nairobi trailed the game 1-0 at half time following a fortuitous Levian Odhiambo goal on 24 minutes off a long range shot, off a cleared corner, that bounced awkwardly and out of reach of keeper Edwin Mukolwe.
Mohammed Bajaber picked out Asenwa for the opener 14 minutes after the restart and with a clever control that beat the offside trap he was sure with the leveler.
Asenwa then turned provider after receiving a long ball from skipper Sven Yida to square it for Oalo who finished it off with a header. It earned him the man of the match accolade.
