NAIROBI, Kenya, Aug 13 – With two matches to go, Tusker have squarely put the Football Kenya Federation Premier League title fate in their own hands after beating Kakamega Homeboyz 2-0 in Ruaraka on Friday evening while second placed KCB faltered after losing 2-1 away to relegation fighting Vihiga United.

With the Friday results, Tusker have moved to 61 points, three ahead of the bankers. A win for Tusker against Nzoia Sugar in midweek and a drop in points by the bankers against AFC Leopards will hand the title to the brewers.
