MD1: Nairobi City Stars 0 Bidco United 2

Bidco United, City Stars

Nairobi City Stars had a false start to the 2022-23 FKF Premier League after going down 2-0 to Bidco United in a Matchday One (MD1)  tie at Nyayo Stadium on Sunday 20 November 2022.

Goals by former City Stars player David Gateri in the 24th minute and Henry Juma in the 36th minute handed Bidco United the win in what was only the fifth top-flight meeting between the two sides.

Gateri nodded home from an uncleared corner, as Juma tapped home Gateri’s cutback for the second goal.

City Stars were the more composed in the second half but were left to rue a series of missed chances.

Next up for City Stars is an away trip to defending Champions Tusker in Kasarani on Sunday 27 November 2022 starting 3 pm.
