What you need to know:

  • Nairobi City Stars’ poor start of the season persisted after they lost 2-1 to FC Talanta while at Mbaraki Sports Club in Mombasa, KCB defeated Bandari by a solitary goal
  • After a goalless first-half, which was closely contested between the two giants, new signing Eric Mmata put Tusker ahead with a well-taken 67th minute penalty
  • Nigerian import Ojo Olaniyi squandered a chance to rescue a point for the wasteful Ingwe when he lashed over the crossbar his 82nd minute penalty

Champions Tusker Sunday handed AFC Leopards their first defeat of the season after edging them 1-0 at Moi International Sports Centre (MISC) Kasarani in Nairobi.

It was another day when the level of officiating in the topflight league came to sharp focus after center referee Hosea Omondi failed to take action against Tusker players who assaulted him for awarding Leopards a penalty towards the end of the match.
