Posta Rangers moved top of the FKF Premier League standings with a 3-1 win over Sofapaka FC during Sunday's early kick-off at the Kasarani Annex.

It continued their bright start this season with the Mailmen unbeaten after three games in which they have collected seven points.

Gor Mahia FC are only behind them on goal difference in second place having also won two and drawn one of their opening three matches.

The champions were in ruthless mood against Nairobi City Stars later Sunday, winning 4-1 with Benson Omalla notching a brace.

Rodgers Mugisha and Austin Odhiambo added the other two goals with Dennis Oalo scoring the consolation strike for the visitors.

After a goalless first half, Sofapaka vs Posta painted a much more different picture after the restart when the Mailmen through Macharia Jackson broke the deadlock early in the half.

Peter Thiong’o scored a brace to seal the win for Posta Rangers with two quick goals in the 70th and 73rd minute of the match.

Sofapaka however tried to fight back getting a goal in the 77th minute when substitute Oliver Maloba seized an opportunity when the ball dropped kindly to him in the box. They went on to force three great saves from Posta Ranger’s keeper, Njau John, before the end of the match.

In the second of the double headers, Sharks beat KCB by a 2-1 scoreline. The first half was evenly matched however, Stanley slotted in from close range from a Geoffrey Onyango assist to give Sharks a lead in the 30th minute.

A mix up in Shark’s defence gave the bankers a chance to equalize in the 45th minute of the first half through Francis Kahiro.

In the second half, this time Geoffrey Onyango found himself in the score sheet when his deflected cross found the top of the net and restored Shark’s lead after 68 minutes.
