Migori Youth FC will face an uphill task as they aim to reach the Kenya Premier League (KPL) promotion for the first time after a goalless draw with Wazito FC.

The first-leg playoff at Migori Green Stadium resulted in missed chances despite having a home ground advantage.

Migori Youth could not capitalize on the weak defensive link of the Wazito FC which had racked up 49 goals, the third lowest in the 2022/2023 KPL campaign.

Wazito FC however, with the experience of having played in KPL were able to hang on and earn a vital point that may lead to their KPL survival hopes.

Migori Youth FC will regret not using the golden opportunities they got as well as the poor scoring form from Wazito FC.

The second leg will be played on July 22 at Muhoroni Stadium where the winner of the game will either be promoted (Migori Youth) to the KPL or relegated (Wazito FC) from the KPL.
