Shabana FC and Posta Rangers played out a 1-1 draw in an entertaining FKF Premier League match staged at Gusii Stadium on Wednesday afternoon.The match was initially scheduled for 21st October but was delayed under unclear circumstances.

Their three-match winning streak had come to an abrupt halt after a 2-0 loss to Francis Baraza’s side in Mumias.Posta Rangers, dealing with a myriad of internal challenges, were looking to extend their unbeaten run to three matches after beating Bidco United and drawing against FC Talanta last week, results that had lifted them from the bottom of the FKF Premier League. The team is facing match-fixing allegations, which led to the suspension of one of their key players on suspicion of involvement in the vice—something the club blames for their slow start this season, which had also put the coaching staff under threat of being sacked.The home team dominated the first half, with Posta taking a more conservative approach. Shabana came close to scoring through Ezekiel Omuri, Justin Omwando, Mathew Tegisi, and Brian Michira, but Posta’s defense held firm.Why winning the league title this season will be extra special for KCB coachAgainst the run of play, Posta Rangers took the lead through Mwinyi Kibwana, who scored from a Curtis Wekesa assist to stun the packed Gusii Stadium.
