    MD3: Kabati Youth 0 Nairobi City Stars 1

    Joshua Amunike scored the lone goal in the 43rd minute to lead visiting Nairobi City Stars to a 1-0 win over Kabati Youth during a matchday three National Super League (NSL) tie played at the Thika Stadium on Sunday 12 October, 2025. 

    Amunike tapped home a sublime left-footed cross from the right wing by Suleiman Konzi aka Babash in the 43rd minute to sink his former side.

    It was the second straight Sunday that Amunike had scored a winning goal following up on the previous one against Luanda Villa at Ngong Vapor last weekend to hand City Stars back-to-back wins.

    Next up for Simba wa Nairobi is a home game against Kibera Black Stars at Ngong Vapor grounds on Sunday 19 October, 2025, starting at 3 pm.

    A Joshua Amunike goal two minutes after the restart was all Nairobi City Stars needed to edge out a spirited Luanda Villa 1–0 in a 2025/26 National Super League (NSL) matchday two encounter played at Ngong Vapor Grounds on Sunday, 5 October 2025.

    The decisive moment came when Abuyeka Kubasu floated in a teasing freekick that was flicked on by Jimmy Ndungi’s header, falling kindly to Amunike, who made no mistake slotting home from close range.

    The strike marked City Stars’ first goal in the second tier since Ebrima Sanneh’s winner in a 1-0 victory over Nairobi Stima at Camp Toyoyo on 14 March 2020.

    The win served as a perfect response to their opening-day 1-0 defeat away to MOFA at the Homabay Stadium on Sunday, 27 September 2025.

    Next up for Simba wa Nairobi is an away fixture against newly promoted Kabati Youth at Thika Stadium on Sunday, 12 October 2025, with kick-off set for 3 p.m.

    Nairobi City Stars’ opening game in the 2025/26 National Super League (NSL) ended in a narrow 1-0 defeat away at the Homabay Stadium to home team MOFA on Sunday 28 September, 2025. 

    MOFA won a penalty late in the game after City Stars defender Stephen Bulugu was adjusdged to have fouled a player inside the box.
