Kenya Police FC put on a dominant display to storm to the top of the FKF Premier League with a convincing 3-0 victory over struggling Bandari FC in an early kick-off fixture at the Machakos Stadium.
The match started at a blistering pace, with Police making their intentions clear early on. Just 10 minutes into the game, Marvin Nabwire opened the scoring for Police, taking advantage of a defensive lapse from Bandari to put his side ahead. Police doubled their lead in the 20th minute as Clinton Kinanga found the back of the net.
Bandari’s head coach Ken Odhiambo responded with quick changes, substituting striker Alvin Ngoto and defender Hamisi Boki for Beja Nyamawi and Brian Odera, respectively. The adjustments appeared to steady the ship for the visitors, as they managed to hold off Police’s relentless attack for the remainder of the first half.
However, despite their efforts to regroup, Bandari struggled to break through the solid defensive setup of Kenya Police FC in the second half. With just 5 minutes remaining in the match, Police’s Jesse Jackson Were sealed the win with a clinical finish, scoring the third goal to heap more misery on the struggling dockers.
The result extended Kenya Police’s unbeaten streak to 9 matches, with 8 wins and 1 draw, and saw them climb to the top of the league table. On the other hand, Bandari’s winless run stretched to 7 matches, having lost 3 and drawn 4, as they continued to slide down the table.
The match marked a significant statement for Kenya Police FC, who have been in scintillating form, while Bandari will have to regroup quickly as they search for solutions to their ongoing struggles.
