Gor Mahia’s Omalla fails to score

Although he failed to score in a goalless match against Bidco United after netting in two consecutive matches, Omalla’s goal-scoring prowess remains impressive.

Eric Ombija of Talanta FC is also making a mark in the competition with four goals in eight matches, contributing to his team’s two wins.

Meanwhile, a group of eight players is closely trailing with three goals each. This group includes Brian Yahama, who played a pivotal role in helping AFC Leopards secure their first win of the season. Harambee Stars and Kakamega Homeboyz striker Moses Shumah is also among those with three goals.

The KCB duo of Haniff Wesonga and Francis Kahiro, Muhoroni’s Collins Neto, Ulinzi Stars’ Enos Ochieng, and FC Talanta’s Alex Juma are part of this competitive group, all having scored three goals in the campaign.

In the eighth week of the FKF Premier League campaign, a total of 18 goals were scored, and seven clean sheets were recorded.
