Nairobi City Stars extended their unbeaten run in the FKF Premier League to three games as they hustled to a barren draw with visiting Kakamega Homeboyz in an uneventful game at the Kasarani Annex grounds on Wednesday afternoon.The result means that the visitors- Kakamega Homeboyz- remain deadlocked in seventh spot with 39 points while City Stars – riding on a three match unbeaten run climb into 14th with 27 points.Match RecapBoth sides coming off FKFPL wins in their last outings came out cautious for the opening events of the first half without little between the two sides in regards to goal scoring chances in the first quarter game.A teasing cross from down the right from Felicien Okanda flew across the face of goal shortly after the half-hour mark and as the visitors piled on the pressure to close the half.Moses Shummah then came close with a header that went over the top with the City Stars remaining resolute to see out a 0-0 at the half.Second halfJust as they had ended the first period, Homeboyz threatened immediately to start the half with Moses Shummah missing a wide open look as his right foot shot inside the box cannoned off the upright from point blank range.A minute after, Felician Okanda had his ambitious shot from range sail over the bar, City Stars barely hanging on.Okanda was on the receiving end of another chance in the 53rd minute – Kennedy Onyango flying to provide the block.##NAJAVA_MECA_7208836##In one of the rare chances for City Stars, Vincent Owino was attempted a long shot from 25 yards with substitute Newton Ochieng also blazing over in the 75th minute.Edwin Buliba then added to his quietly good performance with a goal line clearance three minutes later, with Robinson Kamura looping his header onto the cross-bar after Steve Njung’e had bobbled a corner ball up in the air.Okanda then in the 80th minute saw his header deflected wide, Homeboyz upping the tempo in the closing period of the rather uneventful fixture.
