By Rama Mohammed |
Francis Kahiro’s solitary strike was enough for KCB FC to seal a 1-0 win over a resilient Ulinzi Stars side in an intense FKF Premier League fixture played at the Police Sacco Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The bankers, who have garnered ten points after four matches played in the current season, are sitting at the top of the standings after winning three fixtures and picking up a draw in the opening round.
Speaking after guiding his side to victory, KCB FC Head Coach Patrick Odhiambo said: “Today, they boys came out to compete against a very tough opponent. We knew they would cause a lot of problems so we were ready to silence them in the offensive and defensive aspects of the game. We can only continue winning matches and performing at the top level. That is what I ask my players.”

We want to show people that we have quality and that we are ready to take on any opponent whom we will face. Keeping a clean sheet is gratifying for any goalkeeper. I am elated but focused on the next assignment,” noted Shikhalo.
