The 11th time champions were denied the chance to extend their league lead to five points by substitute Josephat Lopanga's 80th minute strike.

The Breweries remain at the top of the  table with 38 points.

It was all shock for coach Matano having had a good rest after the two-week break despite starting the match on a high note when Boniface Muchiri met a long pass from the left to test Posta's goalkeeper Kelvin Opiyo from close range in the 6th minute and teenager Henry Meja seeing close range forced by Opiyo for another decent save.

Posta had to survive another scare from Matano's men after Rodgers Aloro's powerful free-kick smashed the top left corner of the goal post and did well to respond to the threats on the 30th minute but Gerishon Likono blazed his well contr led ball wide.

Tusker kept on dominating the match throughout the second half only to be silenced by Josephat Lopanga's powerful low shot to the bottom corner to end Posta's losing streak.
