FC Talanta left it late to beat Nairobi Stima 1-0 in a National Super League Round 32 match staged at Camp Toyoyo Grounds on 3 August 2021 and extend their lead at the top of the log.Francis Kahiro scored the all-important goal with four minutes left to play, heading home a well-lofted ball from the right to see Talanta bag all three points and open a nine-point gap between them and second-placed Fortune Sacco who play against Shabana FC tomorrow.Nairobi Stima put up a solid performance throughout the game but switched off for a moment and Talanta took advantage of that to score the only goal for the match.Ken Kenyatta’s side need 16 points to finish top and gain automatic promotion from their remaining 15 games assuming that second-placed Fortune Sacco will win all their remaining games, with all indicators showing that they are likely to play in the top tier next season. Elsewhere, Gusii FC failed to utilize the home advantage against high-flying Kibera Black Stars as they played to a barren draw at Awendo Green Stadium.Both teams put their best foot forward but none of them could outdo the other to break the deadlock, both of them creating numerous chances without converting either of the chances.It was a very combative game Kevin Mwangi, Daniel Odhiambo, and Silvanus Ochieng’ getting booked for Kibera Black Stars while Wycliffe Nyangechi was cautioned for the hosts.A win for Kibera Black Stars would have seen them close in on Fortune Sacco for the second place, but the draw pushed them to third on the log with 48 points, albeit temporarily, as they wait for Kenya Police to face off with troubled Soy United at Eldoret tomorrow.The draw leaves Gusii FC dangling just above the relegation zone, being positioned 17th with 31 points from 28 games.
