Defending champions Gor Mahia wrapped up their 2024 FKF Premier League campaign on a high note, clinching a narrow 1-0 win against Kariobangi Sharks at Kenyatta Stadium on Sunday.
Gédeon Bendeka’s decisive first-half strike earned K’Ogalo their second consecutive win, lifting them to third place in the league standings with 24 points, just three behind leaders KCB, who have played one more match.
The victory catapulted K’Ogalo into the top four for the first time this season, marking a significant turnaround following a shaky start that saw them suffer four losses and part ways with Brazilian coach Leonardo Neiva last month.
Elsewhere, AFC Leopards extended their unbeaten streak to five matches with a 2-0 win over Bandari at Dandora Stadium. Ronald Sichenje broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute after a solid defensive display by the visitors frustrated Leopards for much of the match.
Captain Victor Omune sealed the victory nine minutes from time, netting his team’s sixth win of the season. The result propelled Ingwe to fifth place in the standings with 22 points, just five adrift of the league leaders.
Murang’a Seal continued their impressive form, claiming a narrow 1-0 win over Talanta at Kenyatta Stadium, making it three consecutive victories for the side.
Meanwhile, Ulinzi Stars moved out of the relegation zone with a crucial 2-1 triumph over City Stars. The Soldiers, who have endured a difficult start to the 2024/25 campaign, registered only their third win of the season, climbing to 15th place with 16 points.
As the FKF Premier League takes a brief break, teams will regroup ahead of the next round of fixtures set to resume on Saturday, January 4, 2025. With title races heating up and relegation battles intensifying, the league promises an exciting start to the new year.
