NSL Mara Sugar embarrass Darajani Gogo
The Hawks put up a battling effort in Awendo but were undone by defensive lapses.
The result could have been worse for the City Stars side, with their opponents having the better scoring opportunities but failing to capitalize on them.
Bandari were responsible for almost all of the attacking play in the opening half hour, which included a chance for William Wadri that was denied by a great piece of defending from Edwin Buliba, a shot just over the target from Felix Oluoch, and a low effort from a tight angle by that was scooped up by goalkeeper Steve Njunge.
City Stars gradually gained a foothold and began offering a sporadic threat of their own, with their best moment arriving in the 40th minute, as a mazy run from Samuel Kapen ended with the midfielder shooting just over the crossbar.

The visitors almost doubled their lead on 50th minutes when Siraj Mohamed set up Wadrito shoot on goal, but Njumge was equal to the task, while another chance three minutes later saw Brian Odera flash an effort just wide of the mark.
Bandari goalkeeper Joseph Okoth produced a magnificent save to deny Keneddy Onyango in the 57th minute after the Dockers defense was caught ball watching.

On 72 minutes Bandari threatened from the flanks again and this time Umaru Kasumba’s cross from the right picked out Andrew Juma , who sent a glancing header just wide, with a desperate Dockers lunging in to try and turn the ball home, though he was marginally too slow to react.
Chances dried up in the dying minutes of the game, with bandari seemingly happy to pick up a valuable away point, while the Simba wa Nairobi lacked the nous and penetration to threaten a winning goal as the full-time whistle drew nearer.
Bandari will be back in action next Saturday, 27 May, with a clash at home to Wazito, while City Stars’ next league clash is away against AFC Leopards on the same day.
