Naivas seal promotion playoff with Sofapaka as Kajiado relegated to Division One
In a day where Mara Sugar were coronated as NSL champions, Naivas FC secured a playoff spot for FKF Premier League promotion.
The decisive goal came from former Sofapaka FC striker Robert Karisa, securing Naivas’ place ahead of Nairobi United.
Nairobi United also emerged victorious, delivering a resounding 7-0 win against relegated Silibwet in Bomet.
Despite their impressive performance, they fell short by just one point, finishing fourth with 75 points, compared to Naivas’ 76 points.
With the regular season concluded, Naivas FC will now face the 2009 champions, Sofapaka, in the high-stakes league playoff.
It is an unfamiliar territory for Sofapaka who had a season to forget and only escaped automatic relegation on the final day of the season.
Naivas will not be any pushovers for Zedekiah ‘Zico’ Otieno’s men given they had been one of the most impressive teams in the second tier National Super League before fizzling out in the final weeks of the season.
