At Gusii Stadium, a controvercial penalty by Brian Michira was all Shabana FC needed to overcome visiting Bandari FC 1-0 as Peter Okidi got the better of his former assistant Bernard Mwalala.
Bandari will feel hard done by centre referee Emmanuel Ochieng’s who awarded the hosts a 27th minute penalty after he punished Clifford Ouma for handling in the box when Tv replays showed that it was a wrong decision.
Before the goal, another controvercial decision arose from the game when Bandari had a legitimate goal disallowed for offside. Darius Msagha had found the back of the net only for the assistant referee Jane Cherono to chop it off with an offside call.
The win saw Shabana rise to third on the league table with 31 point with Bandari falling to position nine with 27 points on the table.
