NSL: Mathare whip Gusii FC to go joint top

Mathare United moved level on points with leaders Naivas FC after defeating Gusii FC 4-0 in a National Super League match played on Sunday afternoon at the Kasarani Annex Grounds.

Yesterday's 1-1 draw between Naivas FC and Darajani Gogo provided the Slum Boys with an opportunity to level on points with the leaders; however, the former FKF Premier League side still has an inferior goal difference.

The Leonard Odipo-led team seized the opportunity and scored four goals against the hapless Kisii-based club. Meshack Ochieno scored a brace in the game. The other goals were an own goal from a Gusii player and another from Pascal Ogweno.

United now has 45 points, the same as Naivas. Next, they will make a long trip to Ukunda to play SS Assad, a side known for being stubborn when playing at their home ground. The game will be staged in a fortnight.

At the Awendo Green Stadium, hosts Mara Sugar overcame Mulembe United 1-0 in a closely fought duel. New signing Derrick Kipkoech scored the all-important goal in the first half. Next for them is a match against MCF in three weeks' time.

At the Migori Stadium, hosts Migori Youth picked up three vital points after defeating MCF 1-0. Collins Akitee scored the all-important goal to earn his side maximum points.

Next for Migori is an away game against leaders Naivas FC in a fortnight.

In Bomet, Vihiga Bullets got a vital win over bottom-placed Silibwet Leons beating them 1-0.
