    MD21: Nairobi City Stars 3 Mathare United 0

    Debut Kenyan Premier League goals by Kelvin Etemesi – a brace – and another by Newton Ochieng led Nairobi City Stars to a 3-0 win over Mathare United, and a season double, during a match day 21 league game played at Kasarani Annex on Wednesday 29 March 2023.

    Etemesi scored his maiden top flight goal in the 23rd minute then went on to complete his brace three minutes after the restart. Vincent Owino provided both assists.

    Substitute Newton Ochieng slammed home his first ever premier league goal – and City Stars third – in the 86th minute after connecting well to a sure pass from newly acquired James Mazembe off a well worked counter attack. Mazembe, on loan from KCB, was making his debut for Simba wa Nairobi.

    The win was the seventh for City Stars in 15 games across the last 19 years as host to Mathare United.

    A blight in the game was when Owino and defender Edwin Buliba earned second yellow cards in the 71st and 73rd minutes, respectively, thereby given marching orders leaving City Stars with only nine men on the pitch.

    With the win, City Stars swaps places with Mathare United to move a rank higher to the 15th spot with 20-points, one more than their Wednesday victims.

    Next up is game 22 against KCB on Wednesday 5 April 2023 in Kasarani Annex starting 3 p.m.
