Published on September 6, 2019, the National Super League (NSL) enters Round Two with ten exciting matches lined up for the weekend.
Among the matches, Northern Wanderers, who suffered a humiliating 8-0 loss in their debut match against Nairobi Stima at Camp Toyoyo, will be seeking redemption when they travel to Kirinyaga to face Fortune Sacco at the Kianyaga Stadium.
Team Manager Noordin Badel remains optimistic about the team's chances, saying, "We will not give up. We have trained well this week and with the exception of defender Mohammed Ibrahim who suffered a shoulder injury in our first game, all the other lads are fine and looking forward to the game. We will overcome the challenges and do well soon,"
Meanwhile, Nairobi Stima will be up against Kenya Police at the Karuturi grounds in Naivasha in what promises to be an exciting match. The two teams have a history of intense rivalry, with Stima winning the first leg 3-1 and the second leg ending in a 2-2 draw.
Police coach Charles "Korea" Omondi is confident about his team's chances, saying, "We are going for a win and will play attacking football from the onset.
