Kisumu All Starlets vs Zetech Sparks (Abandoned)

At the Moi Stadium, Kisumu, the match between Kisumu All Starlets and Zetech Sparks was abandoned following a penalty controversy.

With Zetech leading 1-0 in the second half, Kisumu All Starlets were awarded a penalty that Zetech protested. After consultations, the referee rescinded the decision, which led to protests from All Starlets.

With the uncertainty prevailing for long, the referees were forced to leave the field of play as the game ended prematurely. The matter will be solved by the FKF Leagues and Competitions Committee after receiving the match report.
