KPL Round 14: Team of The Week

By Samuel Gacharira,

Who will stop Gor Mahia? That is the question on everyone’s lips going into the June transfer window. Thika United are the latest victim of the league leaders’ venom and only Sofapaka look like the real title challengers after picking their fourth win on the trot over the weekend.

Soka25east looks back at the latest Premier League action and singles out the best performers from three days of stunning goals and individual landmarks.

Leading the last line of defense is Tusker’s Farouk Shikalo after he put up an improved performance pulling a memorable double save in their 2-0 win over Sony Sugar for his second clean sheet this campaign.

His teammate Lloyd Wahome gets a place at centre half after a sturdy display that saw him nod in the opening goal before making a goal line clearance to keep the score line blank.

Alongside him is sensational Haroun Shakava who was also on target for K’Ogalo in their 2-0 success against Thika United. Both Karim Nizigiyimana and Abouba Sibomana are seamlessly adjusting to the demands of the top tier and they line up on opposite flanks. The former masterminding K’Ogalo’s breakthrough with a fine delivery that was well connected by Haroun Shakava for the opener.

Gor Mahia’s dominance this season continues into Round 14’s team of the week with midfield dynamo Collins Okoth earning a place due to his high appetite to do the dirty work envisaged in his latest trademark display.

Twice Daniel Kiptoo went full stretch to deny KCB’s Victor Majid but the diminutive anchorman played a pivotal role at the central of the park as the bankers hit three past Muhoroni Youth. Often the unsung hero at Mathare United, skipper Vincent Okello completes our midfield three after leading from the front once again hardly misplacing a pass in their one all draw against AFC Leopards.

It speaks volumes about a striker’s performance when his team wins 3-0 and he snaffles man of the match award. Such fate befell Crispinus Onyango who makes his team of the week debut following a remarkable showing to guide KCB to their third win of the season.

Central to Batoto Ba Mungu’s renaissance is Fiston Abdulrazak with the Burundi international once again coming to the fore in their victory over Ulinzi Stars bagging two goals of his own to make it six goals in the last four matches.

For the umpteenth time, Victor Abondo features in our all-star 11 following a superb performance that saw him extend his personal tally to nine goals and consequently top the scorers chart.
