Visiting Nzoia Sugar FC held Nairobi City Stars to a 1-1 draw during a National Super League (NSL) matchday ten clash played at the GEMS Cambridge grounds on Tuesday 29 November 2025.
Captain Timothy Muganda was the villain and hero scoring both goals. His clearance in the 13th minute inadvertently went in past Arnold in goal gifting Nzoia a half time lead.
But the skipper atoned for that mishap with a headed corner deliverd by City Stars debutant James Kibande in the 78th minute for a share of the tokens.
With a point in their first season game at the GEMS Cambridge, Simba wa Nairobi improved its points haul to eleven points to move to 14th spot in the 20-team log.
