MD29: Ulinzi Stars 1 Nairobi City Stars 1

Levis Okelo

A debut goal for Levis Okello in Nairobi City Stars colors right at the death secured a memorable 1-1 draw against hosts Ulinzi Stars during a matchday 29 FKF Premier League tie played in Ulinzi Complex Langata on Sunday 7 May 2023.

Ulinzi went ahead in the game in the 77th minute through substitute Enosh Ochieng and looked on course for a win till Okello, on loan from Homeboyz, struck at the death for Simba wa Nairobi to get a share of the spoils. He had only been on the pitch for a few minutes after coming on for Elvis Noor.

The draw was the eighth between the two sides in the Kenyan top flight.

With a point, City Stars moves to the 29-point mark but still stay 14th in the 18-team log. Ulinzi Stars are seventh with 44 points.

Up next for City Stars is a home game against Bandari on Saturday 13 May 2023 starting at 3 pm.
