    MD24: Kenya Police 4 Nairobi City Stars 2

    A 19th-minute penalty by Vincent Owino, and added time goal by Ezekiel Odera fell short of four goals scored by home team Kenya Police for Nairobi City Stars to go down 4-2 at the Police Sacco Stadium during a matchday 24 FKF Premier League tie.

    Derrick Otanga opened the scores for Police in the 13th minute for a lead that lasted only six minutes as Simba wa Nairobi canceled it out with Owino’s penalty earned after Kelvin Etemesi had been brought down in the box.

    Substitute Elvis Rupia slammed home an uncleared ball in the 48th minute, and added a penalty in the 66th minute, to top up on Clifton Miheso’s 62nd-minute goal for a 4-1 lead.

    Substitute Odera then halved the deficit with a cool finish in the second minute of added time to add respectability to the scoreline.

    With the latest result, City Stars remain 16th on the log as Kenya Police – hosting City Stars for the first time in a year-and-a-half – went a position up to fifth with 40 points.

    Next up for City Stars is a home game against Vihiga Bullets on Sunday 16 April 2023 in Kasarani Annex starting at 1 p.m.

    Return of experienced Anthony Muki Kimani and forward Ezekiel Odera are part of four changes made as Nairobi City Stars gears up for a repeat show against KCB during a matchday 22 FKF Premier League tie in Kasarani Annex on Wednesday 5 April 2023 starting at 3.15 p.m.

    The two are making a return after skipping the last two games against Wazito and Mathare United.

    The four take up the places of defender Edwin Buliba and midfielder Victor Owino who both saw red in the last game against Mathare United, on-loan James Mazembe who is not permitted to play against his parent club KCB, and defender Timothy Muganda who takes a rest.

    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.

  • Owino, Bajaber talk up debut goals

    Owino, Bajaber talk up debut goals

    Two goals, one by new signing Vincent Oti Owino and another by Mohammed Hamudi Bajaber sent Nairobi City Stars to a 2-1 win over home team Wazito FC in Muhoroni on Thursday 16 March 2023 during a matchday 20 FKF Premier League tie.

    Owino, in his first start for Simba wa Nairobi, and just his second game since crossing over from FC Talanta rammed home a poorly cleared floater from Dennis Decha Wanjala past the Wazito keeper for the opener within the first five minutes of the second half.

    Bajaber’s goal, scored on the day he turned 20 years old, came at the death when he towered over a defender to power in a header to finish off Newton Tony Ochieng’s cross from the right to hand City Stars all spoils.

    “I’m glad to have scored my first goal in the Kenyan topflight,” said Bajaber before adding; “But I am even happier to have helped the team get the maximum three points in what was a vital win for our season.”

    Owino, commonly known as Oti, said;

    “It excites me to open my account at City Stars even before I fully settle in the team. I am particularly happy that the team went on to win. I believe that first goal is a sign of many more to come.” added Owino

    In between the two goals, Wazito had pulled a goal back through Kelly Wesonga off a corner kick.

    With three points from Wazito, City Stars improved to 17 points while maintaining the 16th spot in the 20-team log.
