Nairobi Stima's perfect start to the National Super League season continued with a hard-fought 3-2 win over APS Bomet at the Green Stadium in Kericho on Saturday, September 14, 2019.
Adam Said opened the scoring in the 42nd minute for Stima, before Douglas Makaya doubled the lead in the 55th minute. Sasai Philip pulled one back for the hosts in the 77th minute, but Ochan Victor restored Stima's two-goal lead 10 minutes later. Chris Wilunda scored in stoppage time, but Stima held on to pick the maximum points.
Stima's win over APS Bomet ensured they remained at the top of the standings with nine points from three matches. Bidco United also joined Stima atop the standings after a 1-0 win over Talanta in Thika.
Migori Youth finally registered their first win of the season with a 2-1 victory over Coast Stima at the Mbaraki Sports Club. Michael Bosco opened the scoring in the 41st minute, and Antonio Abwao doubled the lead soon after the restart. Boniface Akenga reduced the deficit for the home side in the 70th minute.
"We have been working very hard in training, especially in defence. We conceded cheap goals in the first two matches, and I am happy we were a bit solid in that department against Coast Stima," said Migori Youth coach Robert Ojienda. "I saw some considerable improvement in the whole team, and I am hoping we can carry on with the momentum when we host Northern Wanderers at Awendo on Wednesday," he added.
