Shabana remained winless at home after being held to a disappointing 2-2 draw against Nairobi City Stars at Raila Odinga Stadium in Homa Bay on Sunday.
Samuel Kapen gave the youthful Nairobi City Stars the lead in the 4th minute after a defensive mix-up in the Shabana box. However, the lead was shortlived as Eugine Mukangula equalized for the hosts with a fine header. Vincent Nyabuto put Shabana in the lead just before halftime with a well-taken header.
In the second half, City Stars dominated the game and were rewarded after being awarded a penalty. Vincent Owino did not make a mistake from the spot kick
Both coaches rued defensive blunders in the goals conceded. Shabana’s Sammy Okoth said: “We conceded silly goals. The first goal was due to poor reaction while the penalty we conceded was unnecessary. However, generally, we played well and deserved more than one point.”
Nairobi City Stars’ Nicholas Muyoti said: “We would have won the game because we dominated the second half. Two defensive mistakes cost us but I’m okay with the draw.”
