Aquino scored in the 14th and 47th minutes with Clementine Opa, Aisha Juma and Diana William all getting on the scoresheet as Dorothee Mukeshimana scored Kigali’s consolation.
In their first chance of the game, the Greek champions came incredibly close to opening to scoring. Maria Mitkou played a ball to send Akida through on goal, she looped it over Victoria Esson but her effort bounced off the crossbar to deny PAOK a breakthrough.
Akida signed an initial one and a half year deal with PAOK in June last year. She extended that deal in July this year to see her through the 2022/23 season.
Aquino becomes the second Kenyan to feature for Simba, following in the footsteps of Bertha Omita who played during the 2020 season.
Topister Situma’s 24th and 38th minute brace alongside Immaculate Wangila’s 85th minute strike were enough to steer Boniface Nyamunyamu’s side to their fourth title, with four matches of the regular season still to play.
The legacy makers are now just in need of three points to be officially crowned champions.
Vihiga Queens were in no mood for pleasantries as they hammered Kayole Starlets 7-0 in Sunday’s FKF Women Premier League action in Mumias.
Former champions Vihiga Queens stayed unbeaten after round 15 of the FKF Women's Premier League, defeating Kisumu All Starlets 1-0 at the Moi Stadium in Kisumu to open up an 11 point gap at the top of the table.
The former champions are marching towards reclaiming the title the title they relinquished to Thika Queens last season.
Vihiga went ahead through Felistus Kadari’s 39th minute strike before the soldiers replied with a Siliya Rasoha goal six minutes from time. The draw saw Ulinzi fail to return to third, having been usurped by Gaspo who won big on Saturday.
