Sofapaka FC delivered a jaw-dropping performance on Sunday evening, thrashing title hopefuls Tusker FC 7-1 in one of the most shocking results of the 2024/25 FKF Premier League season.
Tusker, second on the league table with 55 points and just two behind leaders Kenya Police, entered the match desperate to bounce back after a midweek 2-0 loss to FC Talanta. Instead, they found themselves completely dismantled by a ruthless Sofapaka side at their clinical best.
First-Half Blitz Leaves Tusker Reeling
The brewers were left stunned as Sofapaka netted four unanswered goals before halftime, leaving head coach Charles Okere and his squad shell-shocked. The onslaught continued after the break, with Batoto ba Mungu adding two more to make it 6-0.
Although Tusker managed a consolation goal midway through the second half, it did little to change the trajectory of the match. Sofapaka responded with two late goals, sealing a historic 7-1 demolition—the heaviest defeat in Tusker’s storied history.
Ezekiel Akwana’s Masterstroke
Sofapaka head coach Ezekiel Akwana masterminded the emphatic victory with tactical precision and relentless attacking play, earning plaudits from fans and pundits alike.
The win not only lifts Sofapaka’s spirits late in the season but also sends shockwaves through the title race, as Tusker’s crushing defeat puts a massive dent in their hopes of clinching a 14th league title.
What This Means for the Title Race
With only a handful of matches remaining, the pressure is now firmly on Tusker to recover quickly. Kenya Police, sitting atop the standings, are now clear favorites to secure their maiden league title as the FKF Premier League enters its final stretch.
