Wednesday afternoon was a good time to be a Shabana FC fan as the NSL leaders did their job – winning 1-0 against MCF FC – as the two teams chasing them stumbled, all dropping points to see the gap at the top extend to seven points.The away side only needed a first half goal from Wycliffe Nthata in the 36th minute to see out the huge win that also saw Shabana’s Isaac Otieno sent off in the 76th minute for time wasting, inside a pitch that had not hosted matches for a long time – Machakos Stadium.Fulltime: MCF 0-1 Shabana Fc.Hatuna Mambo mengi leo, otherwise thank you very Important.Masaku tunawapenda sana.— Shabana Fc Kenya (@Shabanafckenya) March 15, 2023 The result means that Shabana, having played 14 matches, are at the summit of the NSL log with 32 points – 10 wins, 2 losses and 2 draws. Aiming to close down the gap to the leaders, Murang’a Seal, who have played two less games than Shabana, played out to a disappointing 0-0 draw with fourth placed side Kibera Black Stars at the St. Sebastian Park to at least lift them to second position with 25 points.##NAJAVA_MECA_7098861##Gusii FC were probably the biggest casualties of the day as they suffered a humiliating 3-0 loss to Darajani Gogo at the Camp Toyoyo Grounds.Brian Wafula scored the opener for Darajani Gogo in the 43rd minute before Mathew Malisau doubled the lead in the third minute of first half added time to take a 2-0 advantage at halftime.Darajani Gogo with some class ball🥶Gusii FC have a gospel to spread.— ma⚒sh (@lucas_maish) March 15, 2023 John Mugo added the third for Darajani Gogo deep into the second half added minutes to push his side into eighth position with 21 points.Darajani Gogo have now won three of their last four matches.In another NSL Wednesday fixture, Naivas FC continued their good form under head coach Elvis Ayany as they came up 2-1 winners over 15th placed Assad FC courtesy of goals from Vincent Likare and Ken Mutembe canceling out a 77th minute equalizer from Beja Nyamawi.Rest of the NSL results on WednesdayVihiga United 1-1 Mara Sugar FC.Kajiado FC 2-1 Coastal HeroesMombasa Elite 2-1 Mwatate United.
