KCB lose grip at the summit after Bandari’s win over City Stars

KCB FC appear to be quickly losing grip at the summit of the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) as the club failed to pick maximum points once again following their barren draw against Bidco United at St. Sébastian Park.The Bankers were on the back of a one-all draw against the misfiring Kenya Police FC and needed nothing short of three points to open a bigger gap at the top.However, the Patrick Odhiambo-coached side failed to breach the Bidco defence and register their seventh win of the season which would have left them five points clear.##NAJAVA_MECA_8538318##What will potentially worry KCB is the fact that defending champions Gor Mahia may move to two points within their reach should K’Ogalo win the two matches in hand. The record league champions were on a free fall earlier in the month but the decision to sack coach Leonardo Neiva has had a positive impact as the team has won two of the matches played since then. Bidco also find themselves under pressure as the draw saw the club stretch its recent winless run to three matches.Gor Mahia secure victory after Mara Sugar’s late capitulationThe Thika-based club has had a dismal start in the campaign as the Anthony Akhulia-coached side has bagged a paltry two wins in eleven rounds.The question of whether KCB will leverage the good start in the campaign and disrupt the existing order is one which continues to be asked in football circles. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8519610##Initially, KCB enjoyed a healthy cushion at the summit following their powerful takeoff but the back-to-back draws have not only invited pressure from Gor, but also other clubs.City Stars 0-1 BandariThe gap was sliced down to three points as Bandari humbled Nairobi City Stars at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos. Just like KCB, Bandari have had a fairly positive start, winning five, drawing four and losing once in the first ten rounds of the campaign. High Court hands Petra, Mwendwa boost ahead of FKF ElectionsTheir fifth win of the season was realized courtesy of Michael Apudo, whose strike in the fifth minute separated the Dockers and City Stars. Simba wa Nairobi were hoping to build on their 1-0 win over Mathare United and bag their fourth win of the season.
