    Home team Bandari scored late in the first half to stop traveling Nairobi City Stars 1-0 in a matchday 23 FKF Premier League game played at Mbaraki Sports Club on Thursday 17 March 2022.

    Hassan Abdalla headed in from close range the deciding goal from off a cross from Benjamin Mosha. That proved the difference in the game of very few chances for either side.

    Mosha got to the end of a seemingly harmless ball at the byline after beating the offside trap, off a long ball from Siraj Mohammed, ahead of Herit Mungai Atariza to bring in the floated delivery.

    With the win, Bandari shoots to the 37 point mark to sit a point behind third-placed City Stars.

    Next up for the two sides is a reverse game in Nairobi on Saturday 2 April in Ruaraka.

    Head coach Nicholas Muyoti has made no change to the squad that faced Vihiga Bullets last Sunday at Bukhungu, Kakamega, as Nairobi City Stars hit the road to face Bandari at Mbaraki on Thur 17 March 2022 starting 3 pm.

    City Stars won that assignment 2-1 ending a two-game losing streak at the hands of Bidco United and Posta Rangers.

    With an unchanged squad, regular starters Kenedy Vidic Onyango and Ezekiel Odera who were serving caution suspensions, as well as Dennis Decha Wanjala, will have to wait till the next set of games in April.

    City Stars will be playing Bandari at their home tuff for the first time since July 2021.

    From the squad that played then, changes to the squad are six.

    Bolton Omwenga, Kenedy Onyango, and Wycliffe Otieno, three of the starting defenders back July, will all miss the upcoming game.

    While Omwenga has since left the club, Otieno did not make the trip alongside Onyango.

    Flyer Rodgers Okuse Okumu who started the game, as well as Elvis Noor Ojiambo and Odera who came on as subs, are also out.

    Their places have been taken up by stoppers Lennox Ogutu and Salim Shitu Abdalla, midfielders Timothy Noor Ouma, Augustine Kuta, Michael Madoya, and striker Vincent Otieno Okoth.
