Struggling Vihiga get precious point against City Stars

Relegation threatened Vihiga United ended a run of three consecutive defeats as they battled for what could be a precious point when they held Nairobi City Stars to a barren stalemate in a league match played at the Nakuru ASK Grounds on Wednesday afternoon.Coming into the match as one of the two teams in danger of facing the axe to the National Super League with only six games to play, the county funded side managed to blunt a City Stars side that had only lost one of its last nine encounters before the match with the game ending in a draw just as it did in the first leg encounter.IT ENDS LEVEL IN NAKURUFULLTIME SCORESVIH 0️⃣ – 0️⃣ NCS#VIHNCS #COYSWN#𝕊𝕚𝕞𝕓𝕒𝕎𝕒ℕ𝕒𝕚𝕣𝕠𝕓𝕚 pic.twitter.com/zjCmgIYCvc— Official Nairobi City Stars Fc (@NrbCityStars) July 21, 2021 With the one point gained, the county funded side are now just four points from safety with five games left before the season draws to a close.
