Squad

Lazarazu Otieno is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Lazarazu Otieno: 2 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match

Cup progress for Kariobangi Sharks

A 0‑0 win over Tusker, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Squad

Leonardo Troncoso keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Kariobangi Sharks may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market

Jasurbek Mahmudjonov is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Kariobangi Sharks is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Patillah Omoto stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Patillah Omoto and Kariobangi Sharks agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Kariobangi Sharks

Joseph Mwangi was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

Stephen Mbulere Bwire runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

The kick that got away from Patrick Owusu

Twelve yards, a goalkeeper guessing, and it still did not go in. He will take the next one, and every soul in the ground will hold their breath.

Player ratings

Mohammed Habib Sarwari shuts the door

Defensive actions: 13, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Market

Jasurbek Mahmudjonov has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Kariobangi Sharks they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Tempers go at Kariobangi Sharks

Joseph Mwangi was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

A bad afternoon for Kariobangi Sharks against KCB

0‑1 to KCB, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Omer Korsia

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Humphrey Aroko falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings

Humphrey Aroko runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
