Shabana FC ended their wait for a first victory back in the top-flight as they
stunned 12-time champions Tusker 0-1 in a Football Kenya Federation Premier
League (FKFPL) match played at the MISC Kasarani on Friday afternoon.
The Kisii
based side, having been promoted back to the top-flight after a 17-year
absence, had struggled to get going as they failed to get any win in their
opening five matches (D3 L2).
However, Vincent
Nyabuto’s bullet header in the 70th minute was all Tore Bobe needed
to record an emphatic victory over Robert Matano’s Tusker on Friday in a
memorable encounter.
The result
saw the 22/23 National Super League champions jump out of the relegation places
as Tusker’s mixed start to the season stretched even further (W2 D2 L2).
Elsewhere, early
front runners Posta Rangers extended their gap at the top of the table to seven
points after beating Nzoia Sugar 2-0 at the Kasarani Annex Stadium.
Goals from Kennedy
Odhiambo and Brian Otieno saw the John Kamau coached side record their fifth
straight win in the league as they also maintained their unbeaten start to the
season (W5 D1).
In the other match played on Friday, Kakamega Homeboyz failed to pick a win despite leading twice as they were held to a 3-3 draw by Talanta FC.
