Benson Omala tops the FKF Premier League top scorers’ chart with nine goals in 16 matches so far this campaign.Although he has not been as explosive in the first leg as he was last season, the Gor Mahia man remains the leading marksman in the competition by a mile.Much as he didn’t find the back of the net in the two matches preceding the Christmas break, he enjoys a three-goal gap between him and the second best scorer in the league.##NAJAVA_MECA_7762708##Following him closely are four other players. Ulinzi Stars’ Boniface Muchiri, who has proved to be dangerous from free-kicks this season, has scored six goals, as has Francis Kahiro of KCB, who has fully embraced his center-forward role this campaign and is fast becoming dangerous in the air.With his contract expiring, the Bankers will be hoping that he agrees to a new deal ahead of the second leg.Kakamega Homeboyz and Harambee Stars hitman Moses Shumah has also found the back of the net six times.Shumah has largely been inconsistent this campaign and sometimes has found himself on the bench, but that has not deterred him from being among the top scorers this campaign.Completing the six-goal bracket is Nairobi City Stars’ midfielder Vincent Owino.Initially a defensive midfielder, coach Nicholas Muyoti has found a better way to utilize the former FC Talanta and Fortune Sacco man, fielding him just behind the striker.In return, he is the club’s top scorer this season, making Muyoti’s decision somehow a genius move.Four more players have scored five goals. These are Bandari’s Derrick Nsibambi, who will soon be out of contract, and the dockers are desperate to retain him.AFC Leopards’ Brian Yakhama has a similar number of goals, although only one of his strikes is from open play. The rest have been earned from the penalty spot.Murang’a Seal FC’s off-season acquisition Batts Awita has also found the back of the net five times for the FKF Premier League debutants, and so has Kariobangi Sharks’ Geoffrey Onyango, who so far is experiencing his best-scoring campaign.Last season, Elvis Rupia won the golden boot after scoring 27 goals, while Omala came in second with 26. It is projected that this year’s golden boot winner may not surpass Rupia’s tally at the current pace.Ghana set to camp in South Africa for AFCON preps
