Shabana continued their winning ways after edging hosts Mombasa Elite 1-0 in a National Super League (NSL) match at Mbaraki Sports Club in Mombasa on Wednesday afternoon.
A 72nd minute strike from Dennis Wafula following Isaac Otieno’s cross was enough to earn the former Kenyan Premier League side the win that moved them to second-place on nine points, behind Kibera Black Stars who have a superior goal difference.
Black Stars won 1-0 against Vihiga United in another match in Kakamega to remain at the top, followed by Mara Sugar on six points. Brian Omondi scored the all-important goal in the 44th minute.
Shabana’s victory came just days after they beat visiting SS Assad 1-0 at Gusii Stadium at the weekend.
“It’s normally very difficult to beat teams from Western in their home matches, but we thank God we have registered a very crucial win against a very strong side. The future for this young team is bright if they keep the momentum.”
In Kisumu, Kisumu All Stars were held to a 0-0 draw by visiting Mully Children Family (MCF).
