MD21: Nairobi City Stars 3 Fortune Sacco 2

February 22, 2026

Nairobi City Stars returned to winning ways – for the first time in two months –  after settling a nervy National Super League (NSL) matchday 21 clash against Fortune Sacco with a 3-2 win at the GEMS Cambridge grounds on Saturday 21 February 2026.

Two mid season signings Felix Seda from Nzoia Sugar and Edwin Jumba from Muranga SEAL sent Simba wa Nairobi 2-0 up with goals in the seventh and 16th minutes. But the visitors halfed the scores in the 20th minute after Alfred Irungu bundled home an uncleared ball, and levelled matters at 2-2 in the 36th minute after striker Collins Maina powered in a header from a corner.

In added time at the end of the first half, dimunitive Alvine Mukudi, a left back but deployed further up as a left wide role, rose highest at the far post to power home a corner by Ezekiel Simiyu to send City Stars ahead once again, and for the rest of the game.

With the win, the first since a 2-0 win at the same venue over Equity Bank FC on 12 Dec 2025 at the same venue, Simba wa Nairobi now improves to 29 points but stagnate at tenth spot due to other results. Fortune Sacco on their part maintain sixth spot with 32 points.

City Stars will be on the road next weekend to face Nzoia Sugar FC in Sudi, Bungoma, on Sunday 1 March 2026.

Joshua Amunike
Joshua Amunike celebrates with team mates a stoppage time penalty that handed City Stars a 1-1 draw against 3K FC in an NSL matchday 18 tie in Moi Stadium, Embu on Sun 25 Jan 2026

MD 18: 3K 1 Nairobi City Stars 1

January 26, 2026

Joshua Amunike scored a 90+6 penalty to salvage a 1-1 draw against home team 3K FC at the Moi Stadium, Embu, during a National Super League (NSL) matchday 18 tie played on Sunday 25 January 2026. 

Substitute Alvine Mukudi made the most of an Abuyeka Kubasu pass to round his marker on the left wing to square a pass into the box that was handled at the end of the four added minutes to win the set piece.

Amunike then sent home the spot kick to deny his former team 3K FC a much needed win with his eighth goal of the season.

3K had taken the lead in the 68th minute through Alex Mwalimu Kazungu who got to the end of an Oscar Juma delivery.

From the results, Simba wa Nairobi stagnates at tenth in the 20-team log with 25 points – three shy of sixth placed 3K FC.

Next for City Stars is a home game against Naivas FC at the GEMS Cambridge grounds on Saturday 31st January 2026 starting at 3 pm.
