Gor Mahia has kicked off the New Year on a positive note by extending their lead at the top, opening up a seven-point gap after securing a 1-0 victory over Posta Rangers in a crucial top-of-the-table clash at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos today.
Kennedy Onyango’s lone goal proved to be sufficient for the defending champions, dealing a blow to Posta Rangers, who now find themselves in third place on the league standings. The Mail Men have struggled recently, managing only one win in their last five league fixtures.
Failing to put a dent in the momentum of the league leaders, Posta Rangers now face the challenge of closing the gap. Gor Mahia currently sits comfortably at the summit of the Football Kenya Federation table with an impressive record of 37 points from 17 matches, having yet to suffer a defeat this season. They have won 10 matches and secured seven draws.
In another fixture played today, Nairobi City Stars showcased their strong form, securing a 3-0 victory over Talanta FC. This result propelled City Stars to the second spot on the league standings with 30 points, and they seem determined to vie for a top-place finish, approaching each game with a focus on not dropping points.
Meanwhile, Police FC demonstrated their prowess by defeating Kakamega Homeboyz 3-0, with goals from Musa Mohamed, Kenneth Muguna, and Tito Okello.
This victory places Police FC in the eighth position on the standings with 24 points, sharing the spot with Bandari FC, who secured a 1-0 win against Nzoia Sugar at Mbaraki Stadium in Mombasa.
In Homa Bay, Shabana faced a setback, losing 1-0 to Mihoroni Youth, which leaves them in the relegation zone at the 16th place with 14 points. They are just one point ahead of the bottom side, Nzoia Sugar FC.
