Nairobi City Stars opened a 10-point gap at the top of the National Super League (NSL) after defeating their closest challengers Bidco United 2-1.
Simba wa Nairobi have had a good season in the second tier and a win against the Thika-based side was vital for them to continue pushing for promotion. It explains why they started the game at Camp Toyoyo on a high note, attacking with every chance they got.
However, it was the visitors who managed to find the back of the net first. Erick Gichimu was at the end of a fine move after 23 minutes to give the Anthony Akhulia-led side the lead.
