June 29, 2021 - Kenya Police have taken the top spot in the National Super League standings after edging out Mully Children's Family FC 2-0 in a match played over the weekend.

The win leaves Police with 43 points, just a point behind Kibera Black Stars in second place.

Meanwhile, FC Talanta slipped to third place after having three points deducted from their initial tally of 44 points following a FKF decision.

FKF awarded maximum points to Migori Youth for the abandoned match against Talanta, which was played on June 11 in Migori and abandoned in the 75th minute after FC Talanta walked away from the pitch.

"Following the abandonment of Match No. 217 between Migori Youth FC and FC Talanta, the FKF Secretariat, guided by the Rules and Regulations Governing Kenyan Football, have awarded the match to Migori Youth FC on a 2-0, 3 points basis," said FKF.

Shabana FC remained fourth in the standings with 38 points despite drawing 2-2 against relegation-threatened Mount Kenya United.

Other results from the weekend's matches include Mwatate United moving to the bottom half table with 34 points after edging out bottom-placed Soy United 3-2, and Nairobi Stima seeing off APS Bomet 2-1 to move out of the relegation zone.
