Shabana secure Narrow 1-0 Win Over MSEAL
Kisii-based side Shabana FC are back to winning ways after a narrow 1-0 win over Murang’a Seal at Gusii Stadium yesterday.
The only goal of the SportPesa derby was scored by Shabana’s defender Wycliffe Omondi in the 40th minute of the game leaving the Glamour Boys third in the league standings with 43 points.
The victory ended the home team’s poor run after losing their last three consecutive matches against AFC Leopards, Gor Mahia and Kariobangi Sharks.
Both teams had a slow start to the game but later settled well into the first half, with the away team hitting the side net after Victor Haki made a brilliant run past the Shabana defenders in the 16th minute of the game.
The home team responded minutes later when Brian Michira found the back of the net in the 20th minute, but the goal was ruled out for a foul by Austin Odongo on Joseph Omulama in the buildup.
Shabana missed another open chance in the 24th minute of the game after Omondi’s header went wide, but the defender later redeemed himself when he scored the opener on the stroke of halftime.
At the start of the second half, MSEAL’s Osborne Monday introduced substitutes to try and get an equaliser, but the players failed to get past Shabana’s defense.
