Kenya Police FC continued their impressive form with a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Murang’a SEAL on Sunday, January 19, 2025. The decisive moment of the match came in the 62nd minute under extraordinary circumstances.
Murang’a SEAL’s attempt to clear a threatening ball turned disastrous when the clearance deflected off Clinton Kinanga and into the net. Remarkably, Kinanga was mid-protest, appealing for a handball to the referee, when the ball found its way past the goalkeeper.
The first half was a cagey affair, with both sides struggling to create clear chances. However, Kenya Police emerged stronger after the break, with their persistence paying off through Kinanga’s opportunistic goal.
The victory extended Kenya Police’s unbeaten streak to eight matches, putting them firmly in the title race. They now sit just three points behind league leaders Tusker FC, who have played one game more.
Under the stewardship of Burundian coach Etienne Ndayiragije, the law enforcers have been a force to reckon with this season. Ndayiragije’s tenure has seen Kenya Police lose only one of their nine games, winning seven and drawing one, making them strong contenders at the halfway mark of the campaign.
With the league heating up, Kenya Police have cemented their status as a team to watch, and their eyes are firmly set on the top spot as the season progresses.
