On a chilly Saturday evening at the Moi Stadium in Kisumu, Bandari secured a crucial 2-0 win over Kisumu All-Stars in the Kenyan Premier League, marking a much-needed comeback after a midweek loss to Kakamega Homeboyz.
Bandari's dangerman, Yema Mwana, opened the scoring in the 27th minute with a well-placed half-volley, capitalizing on sloppy marking from the hosts. The goal seemed to deflate the hosts, allowing Bandari to dominate the game.
Shaban Kenga sealed the win for Bandari in the 67th minute with a low shot to the bottom corner of the net, after meandering his way into the box. The visitors continued to attack, with David King'atua coming close to scoring in the 25th minute, but his left-foot shot was denied by the upright.
Despite a few chances for Kisumu All-Stars, including a volleyed effort from Erick Opiyo in the 37th minute, Bandari's defense remained solid, marshaled by Felly Mulumba, Atariza Amai, Mohamed Siraz, and Brina Otieno.
Bandari's coach, Bernard Mwalala, made a few changes in the second half, including bringing in William Wadri for Cliff Kasuti, but the visitors continued to dominate the game.
