National Super League (NSL) side MOFA FC brought life to Jomo Kenyatta Stadium with a resounding 5-0 victory over Vihiga United, bouncing back in emphatic fashion after last week’s 2-0 defeat to Kisumu AllStars.

The dominant performance was the highlight of the weekend in the FKF National Super League, on a match day also marred by crowd trouble at the Jamhuri Complex.

Abdalah Swalleh opened the scoring for MOFA in the 21st minute before Lawrence Okoth doubled the lead just before halftime.

In the second half, Vihiga conceded an own goal in the 59th minute, followed swiftly by Okoth’s second in the 62nd. Vincent Omondi rounded off the rout with an 82nd-minute strike to seal the five-star performance in Kisumu.

In one of the day’s most dramatic moments, the match between Kibera Black Stars and APS Bomet was abandoned in the 73rd minute. Substitute Philip Wasai had just equalised for APS Bomet when chaos erupted. The referee ruled the ball had crossed the line, a decision fiercely contested by the home fans.

Kibera had taken the lead earlier through Chesara Eusters, but the game could not proceed past the equalizer as crowd unrest forced an abrupt end. Football Kenya Federation (FKF) is expected to issue a formal statement on the outcome.

In another match, Muli’s Children Family, MCF were held to a barren draw against 3K FC  at Kenyatta Stadium, both sides created chances but were wasteful in front of goal, sharing the spoils in a goalless draw.

Luanda thought they had taken a lead going into the break at Mumboha Grounds, but the lead was wiped out deep in first half stoppage time. The match ended 1-1 after both sides failed to force a winner.

In Ukunda, Mombasa Stars stunned SS Assad with a 1- 0 win to extend their winning run to three, their longest winless streak this season.

Nzoia Sugar stunned in-form Darajani Gogo, ending their impressive six-match unbeaten run, which included five wins, 18 goals scored, just three conceded, and five clean sheets kept.

Nairobi United are still leading the log on 73 points with Bomet second on 67 points. Naivas are third on 60 points.

The top two sides will qualify automatically to the top flight next season while number three will play the side that finishes 17th in the Kenya Premier League, in a two-leg promotion playoff match.
