Kenya Police failed to extend their lead at the top of the FKF Premier League after laboring to a barren draw with struggling Nairobi City Stars at Kenyatta Stadium, Machakos on Sunday.Police, who held a one-point lead to second-placed Tusker going into the early kickoff, were left to rue missed opportunities – especially in the first half – as they dropped points for a third time in their last five league matches.Full time Nairobi City Stars 0-0 Kenya Police FC#PolicingThroughSports— KENYA POLICE FC (@PoliceFCKE) April 6, 2025 In what was a frantic first period, Police striker Clinton Kinanga was so unlucky to see both his clear cut chances miss the target.His first effort on goal came in the tenth minute, but his header from a Daniel Sakari throw bounced off the upright, while a snapshot in the 24th minute flashed just wide of Edwin Mukolwe’s goal.##NAJAVA_MECA_8831633##On-form forward Mohammed Bajaber moments later fed David Okoth with a teasing ball, only for his header to be denied by the upright.On the other hand, Job Ochieng was forced to fend off Benjamin Murimi close to the hour-mark, and had to produce a reflex save in the opening minutes of the second half to keep out a distant strike from Vincent Owino.Shabana FC winger highlights two importance of U20 AFCON to KenyaThe game turned to a physical contest late on, with Bajaber one of the targets of ferocious lunges, twice bearing the brunt of Kevin Simiyu’s strong boots.Mukolwe, who had an outstanding game, still had time to bring down a last minute corner from Police, who this time could not find the keys to unlock an opponent many thought they would brush aside with ease.A point will be more welcome for Salim Babu’s side as it moved them from the bottom of the log to 16th, while Police will now have to place their title hopes on Tusker and Gor Mahia dropping points.
