Reprieve for relegation-threatened Shabana in win over Muhoroni

Shabana FC came from a goal down to beat Muhoroni FC 2-1 in a FKF Premier League match played on Monday 15 April.Ahead of the game, the venue for the duel and date had to be switched due to security concerns.The match was initially set to be played at the Muhoroni Stadium but had to be switched to Mambo Leo Stadium in Kisumu due to concerns over the home team ground’s suitability to host a high-profile game with much at stake for both teams that are on the wrong side of the FKF Premier League log.Enock Agwanda gives Shabana FC the lead from the spot.#FootballKE pic.twitter.com/7wX8fsuuXR— Ole Teya (@TeyaKevin) April 15, 2024 A Man-of-the-match performance for Matthew Tegisi who, alongside Enock Agwanda, scored for the Glamour Boys, was enough to hand them a crucial victory that keeps them in 17th just a point behind the day’s opponent.It was the hosts who pulled first blood, four minutes to the conclusion of the first half with Lucky Ochieng putting Muhoroni ahead off a free kick, against the run of play.Some Muhoroni Youth FC fans accosted their defender Alex Onchwari after the game against Shabana which Muhoroni Youth lost 2-1.He had to seek refuge in the away team bench.#FootballKE pic.twitter.com/M9uaC40r3d— Ole Teya (@TeyaKevin) April 15, 2024 Muhoroni held their own for 31 minutes in the second half but all their efforts were undone in just four minutes as Shabana pulled level in the 76th minute through Tegesi.Second-half substitute Agwanda, stepped on the spot four minutes later to win it for the visitors and revive the side’s hopes of escaping the chop.The win ensured that Shabana registered back-to-back wins for the first time this season.Last weekend’s 3-0 win over Posta Rangers gave them hope of cheating on the chop and the win over fellow relegation battlers enhances their chances of retaining their top-flight status.They are now just one point off the playoff spot occupied by Muhoroni heading into the final eight matches of the season and the Glamour Boys, will be hoping to move up the log with confidence seemingly building after back-to-back triumphs.Next for them is a home match against Kakamega Homeboyz on SundaySouth African side handed FIFA ban for unpaid dues to Kenyan Ovella Ochieng
