Robinson Asenwa’s lone goal within the first three minutes is all Nairobi City Stars needed to see off visiting Bandari 1-0 during an FKF Premier League matchday 14 clash in Ruaraka, Nairobi, on Saturday 9 December 2023.
Asenwa got to the end of a perfect Mohammed Bajaber layup before a quick control and shot on the turn that went in at the near post to the surprise of Bandari keeper Joseph Ochuka.
