Shabana took the lead but could not maintain it as they held KCB to a one-all draw as Boniface Muchiri's hat-trick paved the way for Ulinzi Stars to end their three-game losing streak against Talanta.
2023 National Super League (NSL) winners Shabana will have to wait another week to get three points after they held title challengers KCB to a 1-1 draw in a league encounter that took place at the Raila Odinga Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Shabana drew first blood through Brian Michira, who thundered home a beauty after being set up well by Justine Omwendo to send the attending home spectators into raptures.
Their lead would only last for about 24 minutes before the Bankers restored parity through the red-hot Francis Kahiro, who thumped the ball into the back of the net with a neat header after KCB had sustained pressure, netting his sixth goal of the season in the process.
