Rising highest to meet a well-delivered cross from Evans Ogbonda, Muwowo powered home a header to hand the hosts an early advantage.
Dynamos maintained their attacking tempo, and their persistence paid off nine minutes before the break when Shumah doubled the lead.
The former Kakamega Homeboyz forward latched onto a precise delivery from Daniel Adoko, before calmly dispatching a low right-footed effort past goalkeeper Chitambala Christo, ensuring the hosts went into halftime firmly in control.
Upon resumption, Mines United showed greater defensive organization and resilience, frustrating Dynamos for extended periods.
However, any hopes of a comeback were extinguished when Shumah struck again to seal the result.
Capitalizing on a defensive lapse, the lanky striker reacted quickest to a loose ball, slotting home the third goal to put the contest beyond doubt.
