Njunge, City Stars

Just as was the case during the first leg in Bukhungu on 18 February, Nairobi City Stars and Kakamega Homeboyz posted another 0-0 draw, this time during a match day 27 FKF Premier League tie held in KAsarani Annex on Wednesday 26 April 2023.

City Stars had the best of chances early in the second half with James Mazembe and Kelvin Etemesi missing the best of chances while in the box.

Homeboyz smacked the poles twice in the second half and had the ball cleared off that line once.

But in the end, it was a point and clean sheet for each.

The earned point sent Simba wa Nairobi one position up from 15th to 14th with 27 points. Homeboyz is eight with 39 points.
