The 2022 champions Salim Omar Advocates came from a goal down to sink Taliban FC 2-1 in the Social league fixture of the Left Foot Sports at Sikh Union Club Astro Turf on Forest Road.
It was the Taliban, who took a deserved lead in the 28th minute when Omar Mahad dribbled past three defenders, including the goalkeeper before slotting the ball into an empty net.
However, Salim Omar drew level in the 34th minute when Ahmed Shariff found space inside the box to slice the ball home and he completed his brace in the second half to stun the Taliban.
In another match, One Africa Logistics came from two goals down to beat Abdulrahman Saad Advocates 4-2 in a six-goal thriller.
Meanwhile, Astra Aviation scored in either half to sink Nation Media 2-0 in their opening fixture.
Aviation were the better side in the opening exchanges but were forced to wait until the 23rd minute when Juma Mwai put them ahead. The nation continued to battle for an equaliser but Aviation retreated to defend their slim lead and go to the half-time break ahead.
On resumption, while Nation kept pushing for a goal, Mwai grabbed the second against the run of play, after his left-footed effort hit the woodwork before sneaking into the net.
