Nairobi City Stars open 10-point gap in the NSL

Nairobi City Stars made a huge stride towards Kenyan Premier League (KPL) return after a 1-0 win against Nairobi Stima in the National Super League.

The Nairobi Powermen had come into the match aiming at getting at least a point to get closer to the top three positions. For Simba wa Nairobi, a win was vital to extend their lead at the top of the second-tier table.

It seemed the match was set to end in a goalless draw as the game hit the finals stages. However, with a minute to go, Stars managed to get a corner that was beautifully brought in and Ebrimmah Sanneh was at the right place to score an all-important winner.
