NSL: Western Stima roar to the top after KCB win

Western Stima maintained their top position in the National Super League after downing fellow promotion hopefuls KCB 2-1 on Saturday.

It was the hosts, who took an early lead courtesy of a Zachary Gathu in the 51st minute. However, Dennis Gicheru handled the ball in the danger zone leaving the referee with no option but give a penalty which was converted by custodian Samuel Odhiambo.

That was Gicheru's last contribution as it earned him a second booking leading to his dismissal. The power men took advantage of the situation to get their second courtesy of substitute Dennis Nyarombo.
