Darajani Gogo and Kibera Black Stars clashed in a tactical match as Naivas FC secured a win against Mara Sugar.
Darajani Gogo and Kibera Black Stars played to a predictable goalless draw in their National Super League (NSL) match played at M-Pesa Foundation Grounds on Saturday.
In a match that only really came to life in the second half, both sides missed several open chances but a sharing of the spoils was a fair reflection of a tactical battle in which neither really gained the ascendancy.

FOOTBALL ‘Baba’ makes Harambee Stars AFCON wish ahead of 2023 tournament kick off
Opposition Leader Raila Odinga has urged Harambee Stars to ensure they qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations after missing out on the 2023 edition which will begin on Saturday
Black Stars enjoyed the majority of possession through the first half, but Gogo’s defence held them at arm’s length quite comfortably.
The team in black and white called Innocent Lihasi into notable action only twice, both long-range efforts from Dan Odhiambo and Oluoch which were well saved by the Gogo goalkeeper.
Mumo also had an opening late in the half after a clever back-heel from the effusive Diarra, but the veteran midfielder fired straight into the side netting from a tight angle.

Black Stars missed the opener in the second half after Donald Opiyo picked out the run of John Njoroge with a great ball over the defence and the attacking midfielder rattled the crossbar with an acrobatic volley.
