Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Premier League leaders Police FC moved five points clear in the league standings following a 1-0 win over host Bandari FC on Friday, May 9, 2025.

Marvin Nabwire’s stoppage-time goal proved sufficient to sink the stubborn Bandari side in the entertaining action.

The former AFC Leopards star notched his seventh league strike to put the law enforcers on the comfortable cushion with five games to end the campaign.

The log leaders are eyeing the maiden league title after clinching the 2024 Football Kenya Federation Shield Cup.

The win hauled the Police’s point tally to 58 from 30 games.

Tight race

Gor Mahia are the close challengers to the table toppers, coming in second with 53 points.

Sinisa Mihic’s team, whose match week 30 against AFC Leopards was postponed, has played a game less, the same with third-placed Tusker, who trail K’Ogalo by a point with 52.

In other matches, Shabana FC put behind their backs their last week’s loss to Gor Mahia to edge KCB FC 1-0 in Machakos Stadium.

Keith Imbali scored the all-important goal for Peter Okidi’s team off a superb delivery from Brian Michira.

The win consolidated Tore Bobe’s stay at fourth with 49 points, three behind Brewers.

Saturday games

Kakamega Homeboys and AFC Leopards are ranked fifth and sixth with 45 and 42 points, respectively.

In the last match of Friday, visiting Mara Sugar came up short in a five-goal thriller to slump to a 3-2 defeat to Nairobi City Stars at the Dandora Stadium.

Saturday will see Kakamega Homeboyz visiting Mathare United at Dandora Stadium starting at 1:00 pm.

The clash will then pave the way for the Sofapaka vs. Kariobangi Sharks tie at 4:00 pm.

John Kamau’s charges will seek to add to their impressive resurgence against the Kakamega-based side, who have not lost a single game since their humbling defeat to Shabana in March 2.

Homeboyz’ latest win, a 2-0 win over Posta Rangers on Wednesday, May 5, 2025 was their seventh game unbeaten in the league.

Meanwhile, Tusker FC will also be on the hunt for points on Saturday, May 10, 2025, with a date against Murang’a Seal.

Charles Okere’s team seeks to reduce the widening gap between them and leaders Police.

The coach spoke on the motivation of his team for the tie.

“Everyone is motivated to play because now we are in the final five game. We will be taking it one game at a time and we hope for good results in the game after dropping points in the previous two games,” he told the club portal.
