Shabana ended a three - match winless spell with a dominant 4-1 victory over Sofapaka in an FKF Kenyan Premier league match played at Raila Odinga Stadium in Homa on Saturday afternoon. 

Tore Bobe entered the match on high spirits as Ezekiel Omuri took only five minute into the match to score the opening goal. 

Brian Michira curled in a great strike to extend Shabana's lead in the 38th minute and held firm for a 2-0 advantage at halftime.

The second half saw no reprieve for Batoto ba Mungu as Omuri opened a space for Wycliffe Mutua to make it 3-0 after 63 minutes.

In the 72nd minute, Omuri grabbed his second assist of the game by setting up Nehemiah 'Neymar' Onchiri to score the fourth goal to give his side their biggest win since their top-flight promotion.

The victory leaves Shabana 13th on the log with 14 points, same as their losing opponents, but with a superior goal difference.

Meanwhile, at the Police Sacco grounds, KCB returned to winning ways following a 2-1 win against Kenya Police.

KCB raced to a 2-0 lead with Apolo Otieno opening the scoring in the 26th minute before substitute Derrick Otanga extended the lead in the second half.

The third match of the day saw Bandari FC thrash Murang'a seal 2-0.
