Ticking away
On the home straight now.
Can we have a winner? If it comes - either way - it will be a huge three points. For now though, it's still balanced on the scoresheet.

Vantage point
These fellas had to pick the best spot to watch the duel from.
Meanwhile, we are a little over the halfway mark of the second half.

Wafula cautioned
Vipers defender Innocent Wafula goes in the referee's book for what appears to be time wasting antics.
Careful.

It's Mike Mutyaba who tucks home for the hosts. And that came early after the interval - four minutes into the second half.

It's back to the business on the pitch as we look forward to another 45 minutes of football.
Remember that Halid Luwalira had to limp injured in the first half. He was replaced by Ibrahim Tembo.

KCCA trailing
This is as tasty as it can get. If the visitors can just hang on here.
But there is still a lot of time to the 90th-minute mark. Can we see more from this encounter?
