Second placed Mathare United held to a goalless draw by Zoo Fc

Mathare United missed out on the chance to get back on top of the Kenya Premier League standings after they were held to a barren draw by Zoo FC at the Kericho Green Stadium.

Having been relegated into the 2^nd position by Bandari FC on Saturday following The Dockers’ 1-0 win over Kariobangi Sharks, Mathare United were aware that a win against Zoo FC would propel them back into the top spot.

However, the Slum Boys were unable to break Zoo’s resilience, with the match ending in a goalless draw.

The result leaves the Francis Kimanzi coached side 2^nd on the log on 26 points, two points behind Bandari, while Zoo slipped a spot down to 15^th.

Meanwhile, Champions Gor Mahia ended Sofapaka’s seven-match unbeaten run with a 1-0 win against Batoto Ba Mungu in Nakuru.

The win leaves K’Ogallo 3^rd on the log on 25 points, two ahead of Sofapaka.

Elsewhere at the Moi Stadium in Kisumu, Western Stima defeated bottom side Mt. Kenya United 2-1.

The win lifts Paul Ogai’s men up to 4^th on the log with 23 points while MKU remain rooted at the bottom with nine points with the loss their ninth of the campaign.
