Murang’a Seals reduced Shabana’s lead on top of the FKF National Super League log to seven points following their 3-0 win over Mara Sugar.
Murang’a Seals also moved to second on the log with 18 points from eight games while Shabana lead the log with 25 points from nine games. Seals and Shabana are the only unbeaten teams in the league so far.
Seals leapfrogged Kibera Black Stars who dropped to third on the log while Mara Sugar dropped to sixth on the table. Gusii FC moved to fourth on the table after edging Coastal Heroes 1-0 at Gusii Stadium.
At the same time, the clash between Shabana and Kibera Black Star will be the highlight of Wednesday’s NSL fixtures.
The two teams will face off at Ligi Ndogo grounds with Shabana hoping to continue with their impressive start of the season.
Shabana coach Sammy Okoth said he is unmoved ahead of the game. “It’s just a game like any other. We are going to Nairobi for maximum points,” said Okoth.

Mara Sugar coach Francis Xavier has challenged his charges to bounce back to winning ways when they face Kisumu All Stars at Awendi Green Stadium.
Coach Xavier is keen to strengthen the team when the transfer window opens.
“I’m not going to overhaul the team. I will only sign a defender, a midfielder and a striker. I will go for experienced players because the league is very competitive,” he told the Star on phone.
