For KCB, the defeat ends their recent run of competitiveness, denying them a chance to go top, and highlights defensive issues that have not been common in recent matches.

Shabana’s head coach will take pride in his squad’s character and tactical execution, with goals from Omondi, Obina, and Omuri reflecting both quality and depth in the team. Meanwhile, KCB will look to regroup and return to winning ways in their next fixture.
