Masoud Juma: From Isiolo's streets to Dennis Oliech comparisons & becoming Harambee Stars stalwart
Masoud Juma may now be one of Harambee Stars' most important players and also plays for Saudi Arabian outfit Al Jabalain, but his journey to the top was not the easiest.
KCB almost doubled their lead shortly after, with midfielder James Kinyanjui unleashing a powerful effort that narrowly missed the target.
It almost got worse for Police in the 20th minute when Baraka Badi lost possession, allowing Michael Mutinda to surge forward and delightfully play in James Kinyanjui, who failed to capitalize on the opportunity.
In the 35th minute goal scorer Francis Kahiro after sustaining an injury was substituted and replaced by Stephen Etyang.
Police looked to get themselves back in the contest and managed to create an opening for Erick Zakayo, but the former Tusker FC man scuffed his effort, missing the target from close range.

Record African champions Al Ahly will be looking to dominate Stade d’Abidjan in their CAF Champions League group stage opener.

Consequently, the Law Enforcers defence were able to hold firm and picked up the win on the sunny afternoon.
KCB will be back in action on Sunday 1 December when they host Bidco United, while Kenya Police's next match will be away to AFC Leopards on the same afternoon.
