NSL: Naivas beat Coastal Heroes to go fourth

Naivas FC picked up an important away win as they edged out Coastal Heroes at Mbaraki Grounds to go to fourth on the log with 17 points, albeit temporarily with other matches expected over the weekend.This was the first match for the National Super League round 10 fixtures, with nine matches set to be played on Saturday across the country.For Coastal Heroes, it was their third match without a win and their fifth defeat for the season while it was a consecutive win for Naivas, and their fifth win for the season.The visitors opened the scoring in the match courtesy of Kingsley Owuor 26 minutes in the game, with Julius Ngigi doubling the advantage just three minutes later to take control of the game early.Coastal Heroes hit back three minutes after conceding the second goal, this time Musa Mahaba scoring to half the deficit and put the hosts back into the game.Khamis Abudu ensured that the two teams went into the break level as he struck at the death of the first half to make it 2-2 and perhaps sway the half-time pep talk for both sides.In the second half, both teams pushed to break the deadlock but the goals kept evading until Marcus Jairo gifted Naivas the three points as he put the ball into his own net with just eight minutes left to play in regular time.On Saturday, Fortune Sacco will host Gusii in the early kick-off of the day at Kianyaga Stadium starting at 1 PM, with all other matches set for a 3 PM kick-off.NSL Saturday FixtureFortune Sacco VS Gusii – Kianyaga StadiumKisumu AllStars VS Migori Youth – Moi Stadium KisumuKibera Blackstars VS Silibwet Leons – Camp ToyoyoMara Sugar VS Dandora Love – Green Stadium AwendoMuhoroni Youth VS Shabana – Muhoroni StadiumMurang’a Seal VS APS Bomet – St. SebastianMwatate United VS MCF – Wundanyi StadiumSS Assad VS Vihiga United – Mbaraki GroundsZoo VS Mombasa Elite – Kericho Green Stadium
