Bandari drown Murangá Seals in the deep sea as Shabana wallop Sofapaka

Shabana FC picked their biggest win since their promotion to the FKF Premier League walloping a helpless Sofapaka 4- 1 at the Raila Odinga Stadium in Homa Bay County while Coast-based side Bandari were also in good form picking maximum points at home at the Mbaraki Sports Club after edging Murangá Seal 2-0. In Nairobi, Kenya Police went down 1-2 to Kenya Commercial Bank Football Club.

At the Mbaraki Sports Club Bandari had to rely on two Ugandan strikers William Wadri and Umar Kasumba to score in each side of the half to seal the win.

Bandari were the better side in the first five minutes of the match, winning six corners but failing to convert any of those.

Murang'a Seal goalkeeper Wilson Mwangi had a standout game in the first half making important saves to keep the visitors in the game, at least until that time.

In 31st minute, Robert Onyango’s 30-yard shot deflected off the bar but watched in agony thereafter as he had to make way for William Wadri after picking up an injury.

Bandari's pressing game paid off in stoppage time of the first half, William Wadri heading into the net a James Kinyanjui cross.

Murang'a had only one shot on target in the first half through Samuel Semo’s free kick whose effort was calmly saved by Bandari goalkeeper Joseph Ochuka.

Half time advantage

Upon resumption, the home side almost doubled their lead when Seals’ captain Robert Mudenyu made a poor clearance that almost went into his own net.

Visitors Seals were then forced to make a double change introducing Juma Lusaka and Titus Kapchanga to calm the ever pressing Bandari but to no avail.
