During a 2013 FKF President's Cup semi-final on 20 October 2013, a shocking goalkeeping blunder by Ochieng allowed Allan Wanga of A.F.C. Leopards to seal a 2−0 win to take his side to the final. With Wanga sent through on goal by Mike Baraza, Ochieng rushed out to clear the danger, comically missing the ball and leaving Wanga with an empty net to score in.[1][2]
