FKF PL: Tusker edge Murang’a SEAL in Kirinyaga
25th February, 2026 04:46 PM
Former champions Tusker FC edged Murang’a Seal 1-0 in a tightly contested Football Kenya Federation Premier League encounter on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, at Wang’uru Stadium in Kirinyaga County.
The Brewers handed SEAL their second defeat on the bounce thanks to Ibrahim Joshua’s solitary strike that proved the difference at full-time.
The narrow win marked a significant milestone for new head coach Julien Mette, who registered his first victory in charge of the Brewers after losing 0-1 to Shabana FC in his league match with the Ruaraka-based outfit previously.
The result will come as a major boost to the tactician and his squad, who were eager to turn promising performances into tangible results in the challenging campaign.
Despite their struggles, the Brewers have historically enjoyed the upper hand in this fixture, winning their last five league meetings against Murang’a Seal, a record they extended on Wednesday.
Before the encounter, Murang’a Seal, on the other hand, have been flying high in fifth place and boasts an impressive run of results, having won their last five matches. They have been potent in attack, scoring 30 goals this season, although they have conceded 24.
Spoils shared in Mombasa
Elsewhere, Nairobi United picked a vital point on the road after holding Bandari FC to a 1-1 draw at the Mbaraki Sports Grounds in Mombasa County. Amza Ngamchia and Benson Omala were on the score sheet for the Dockers and Naibois, respectively.
Benson Omala has arguably found his scoring boots for Nairobi United as the former Gor Mahia forward was also on target as Godfrey Oduor’s charges humiliated Bidco United with a 3-0 beating in a league encounter staged at the Ulinzi Sports Complex on Saturday, February 21, 2026.
Following the good show against Bidco, Oduor has tipped new signings Benson Omala and Kevin Wangaya to inspire Naibois to more glory in the upcoming fixtures.
”They did their job, Kevin Wangaya, Benson Omalla. The latter has been with us, played a couple of matches; he has not been scoring. It was really good for him, and it came at the right moment. I hope that these two will keep inspiring the team to win more matches.” He said.
