Five matches were played across different venues on Sunday 5th August as the SportPesa Premier League Round 25 action came to an end.

Kariobangi Sharks 1-2 Zoo FC

In an early kick off match played at the Camp Toyoyo, visiting Zoo Kericho picked all the three points by edging out Kariobangi Sharks 2-1. Sabiri Sindini opened the scoring for the visitors in the 25th minute but Sharks leveled through Duke Abuya just three minutes later. 2017 KPL MVP Michael Madoya headed in the winner in the 58th minute, his tenth goal of the season.

“We had a strategy for Sharks and I am very happy it worked. Our plan was to deny them spaces by not pressing very high and hitting them on the counter and that is how we got our two goals. The win is very crucial for us as it takes us off the relegation zone but we have to keep up with the good performance in the next matches.” – Zoo FC Head Coach, Sammy Okoth
