Fan injured at Raila Odinga Stadium in Homa Bay as Shabana irked by defeat

Violence once again reared its ugly head leaving one fan injured as Shabana, aggrieved by the 0-1 home defeat to visiting Muhoroni Youth in a Kenyan Premier League match staged Saturday at the Raila Odinga Stadium in Homa Bay Town, did not take the loss in their strides.

The violence started when supporters of Shabana began hurling water bottles onto the pitch when their team failed to score.

Shabana have had a poor ride in the KPL games and it seems the purple patch is taking a toll on their strained fans. In 17 matches they have managed just 3 wins, 5 draws, and 9 defeats.

And on Saturday at the Raila Odinga Stadium, unable to take the bitter dose, they demanded answers from the playing unit and club the club officials on why they should continue traveling from Kisii to Homa Bay to watch games which they lose at every turn.

Drama started after Muhoroni Youth scored the only goal of the match and the celebrations of the visiting team were soon met by missiles – in the form of water bottles- at the tail end of the contest.

At the last whistle, the fans became more charged and started confronting their opponents as both sets of fans exchanged missiles – stones coming in handy yet the police stayed back and watched the two groups fight.

It took the intervention of county enforcement officers to drive out rowdy fans who were trying to vandalize seats at the stadium as the injured was rushed to Homa Bay Teaching and Referral Hospital.
