    MD23: Nairobi City Stars 1 Mwatate United 0

    A wonder goal by James Kibande in first half handed Nairobi City Stars a 1-0 win over visiting Mwatate United during a National Super League (NSL) matchday 23 tie played at the GEMS Cambridge grounds on Saturday 7 March 2026. 

    Kibande fired home a long ranger that slapped the crossbar and bounced inward and home after receiving a touch from Edwin Jumba from around 40 yards out to allow Simba wa Nairobi complete a double over Mwatate United. During the first leg match played in the hills of Wundanyi in November 2025, City Stars returned with a 2-0 win.

    City Stars now hits the 33-point mark after the Mwatate clash to move from 12th to ninth spot as Mwatate stagnate in 18th spot with 18 points.

    City Stars will be away to shoppers Naivas FC in Ngong in the next game next weekend.

    MD21: Nairobi City Stars 3 Fortune Sacco 2

    Nairobi City Stars returned to winning ways – for the first time in two months –  after settling a nervy National Super League (NSL) matchday 21 clash against Fortune Sacco with a 3-2 win at the GEMS Cambridge grounds on Saturday 21 February 2026.

    Two mid season signings Felix Seda from Nzoia Sugar and Edwin Jumba from Muranga SEAL sent Simba wa Nairobi 2-0 up with goals in the seventh and 16th minutes. But the visitors halfed the scores in the 20th minute after Alfred Irungu bundled home an uncleared ball, and levelled matters at 2-2 in the 36th minute after striker Collins Maina powered in a header from a corner.

    In added time at the end of the first half, dimunitive Alvine Mukudi, a left back but deployed further up as a left wide role, rose highest at the far post to power home a corner by Ezekiel Simiyu to send City Stars ahead once again, and for the rest of the game.

    With the win, the first since a 2-0 win at the same venue over Equity Bank FC on 12 Dec 2025 at the same venue, Simba wa Nairobi now improves to 29 points but stagnate at tenth spot due to other results. Fortune Sacco on their part maintain sixth spot with 32 points.

    City Stars will be on the road next weekend to face Nzoia Sugar FC in Sudi, Bungoma, on Sunday 1 March 2026.
