Record champions Gor Mahia secured a narrow 1-0 victory over KCB, while defending champions Kenya Police FC registered their first win of the new SportPesa Premier League season. These results significantly impact the early league standings.
Gor Mahia, known as K'Ogalo, clinched a crucial 1-0 win against KCB in a SportPesa Premier League match held at Dandora Stadium on Sunday, October 5, 2025. The lone goal was scored by Felix Mboya, propelling Gor Mahia to third place in the league standings with six points.
This defeat marked the second loss for KCB under coach Robert Matano this season. The Bankers have now extended their winless streak against Gor Mahia to two years, with their last victory against the record champions dating back to January 2023.
In another key fixture, defending champions Kenya Police FC secured their first victory of the season by defeating newly promoted APS Bomet 1-0. The decisive goal for Police FC was netted by Clinton Kinanga in a match played at Kericho Green Stadium.
Kenya Police had started their title defence with a 0-0 draw against Ulinzi Stars, while APS Bomet has had a challenging start to top-flight football, having lost previous matches to Muranga Seal and Shabana.
Following these results, Shabana currently leads the SportPesa Premier League with nine points, despite a 1-1 draw with Tusker FC. Gor Mahia and KCB are both on six points.
The league will now head into an international break.
KCB midfielder Tyron Kariuki expressed confidence before the match, acknowledging Gor Mahia's stature but asserting his team's readiness. Gor Mahia midfielder Alpha Onyango had also highlighted the team's improved preparations and confidence after their previous win against Sofapaka.
KCB's continued struggle against Gor Mahia could impact team morale and their standing in the league, especially against top-tier opponents. For APS Bomet, a difficult start to the season highlights the challenges faced by newly promoted teams in the SportPesa Premier League.
As the league resumes after the international break, attention will be on whether Gor Mahia can maintain their winning momentum and challenge for the top spot. For Kenya Police FC, the focus will be on building on their first win to mount a strong title defence. The performance of new signings, such as Felix Mboya for Gor Mahia, will also be closely watched.
