National Super League (NSL) leaders Naivas Saturday suffered a 4-3 loss to visiting Rainbow FC at M-Pesa Foundation in Thika.
A win in the morning fixture could have seen the retailers go three points clear at the top of the standing. However, they are still ranked top on 42 points, two ahead of second-placed Mathare United.
