Kariobangi Sharks forward Eric Kapaito claimed a hat-trick as they beat Nakumatt 5-2 in a Kenyan Premier League match played at the Camp Toyoyo Grounds on Saturday.

Amani Kayata put the hosts in the lead as early as the fifth minute before Kapaito equalised just before the half hour. Sharks went ahead three minutes later through George Abege and they put some daylight between themselves when Kapaito converted from the spot shortly after the restart.

He completed his hat-trick at the hour mark but there was still time for Sydney Lokale to add a fifth. John Njoroge got another consolation for his side late on.
