On a day when the Mashemeji Derby between Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards was meant to happen, none of the four sides in action registered a win, all settling for draws in their respective matches.Plaudits would probably go to promoted side Mara Sugar, who on the verge of losing for only their second time this season, pulled a late equalizer for a 1-1 draw with Sofapaka at Awendo Green Stadium.##NAJAVA_MECA_8519584##Ronald Sempala put Batoto Ba Mungu ahead in the fourth minute when he fed off a Baron Ochieng assist to carry a slim advantage going into the half.Mara Sugar, without the suspended coach George Midenyo who received a red card against AFC Leopards in their last match before the international break, thought they had leveled matters in the second half only for their goal to be chalked off for a foul throw.The goal, protested by the home bench, led to some tensions on both benches, with one shot from the stands showing Sofapaka coach Robert Matano burging his technical staff off the field of play.Things getting heated on Sofapaka’s bench.Mara Sugar Fc 1-1 Sofapaka FC #KPL2024 pic.twitter.com/VyscNUQMO7— Ole Teya (@TeyaKevin) November 24, 2024 The hosts however got what their efforts deserved, as they grabbed a late goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time through a freekick from man-of-the-match Matthias Isogol.The point for Mara saw them cut KCB’s lead to four points, while Sofapaka, now unbeaten in their last five games after a shaky start, jumped a place into ninth position.In Sunday’s late kickoff, Ulinzi Stars were held to a goalless draw by Bidco United at Kinoru Stadium, with both sides remaining firmly in the mid table with only two wins to show thus far this season.Hard-fought game ends in a Ulinzi Stars 0-0 Bidco United draw with neither side breaking the deadlock.#fkfpremierleague pic.twitter.com/Pv0K5ja1vZ— FKF Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) November 24, 2024
