Published on November 4, 2019, Vihiga United rose to fourth place in the National Super League (NSL) standings after a hard-fought 1-0 win over Thika United at the weekend.
The team, sponsored by Vihiga County Government, accumulated 25 points, matching the tally of third-placed Bidco United, but with an inferior goal difference.
Elsewhere, Nairobi City Stars maintained their top spot following a 2-1 win over Migori Youth at Camp Toyoyo grounds in Nairobi. Wycliffe Otieno and Oliver Maloba scored for the hosts in the 32nd and 82nd minutes respectively.
Nairobi Stima, under the guidance of Leonard Odipo, secured a 3-1 win over St. Joseph’s Youth at Afraha Stadium in Nakuru.
Ushuru jumped from mid-table to sixth place after their 4-0 win over FC Talanta, who had previously failed to show up for their game against Migori Youth in Awendo.
Talanta, coached by veteran tactician Juma Abdallah, retained most of their players from last season, hinting at a promising 2019/20 campaign, but have failed to impress.
Relegation-threatened Eldoret Youth were held to a 1-1 draw by Shabana at Eldoret Showground on Sunday, remaining second from bottom.
