SportPesa Premier league defending champions Tusker missed the chance to return to the top of the table after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Posta Rangers in a league match at the Kinoru Stadium, Meru on Sunday.

Dennis Mukaisi had fired Posta ahead in the seventh minute but the brewers levelled just before the break through Boniface Muchiri. The two sides meet again on Wednesday.

Tusker are third with 29 points while Posta go top with 30 points but could be dislodged by Gor Mahia who take on Nakumatt in Sunday's last league match.

Tusker made immediate changes by bringing in Eugene Asike in the 47th minute for Marlon Tangauzi.

Jackson Macharia's long range effort went off target as the match slowed in pace and mobility.

George Nsimbe made his second substitution and deployed Stephen Owusu for Michael Khamati as the Ugandan tactician went for pace upfront to search for an elusive lead goal. The Brewers final change saw Cercidy Okeyo repalce Paul Odhiambo but all that could not help Tusker share points with Posta.
