Norman Werunga struck the only goal of the game in the 38^th minute as visiting Zoo Kericho beat Sharks 0-1 at a round 8 Kenyan Premier League match played at the Afraha Stadium. It was the third loss of the season leaving Sharks with only seven points same as the victors of the day who seat ahead at position 14 due to superior goal difference.

The loss leaves Sharks without a win against Zoo in the 7 league meetings this far with three losses and four draws the return from this fixture continuing with the jinx against the tea men.

The coach had made two changes to his squad. Daniel Sakari slotted behind to right back while Sydney Lokale was handed his first start of the season upfront alongside Erick Kapaito.

Conceding in the first half meant that the game had to be chased. Harrison Mwendwa and James Mazembe came in for Yidah and Kapaito at the hour mark but their efforts couldn’t break down the Zoo defence.
