Levis Ochieng keeps Sofapaka in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

The small margins put Sofapaka out
Out, 2‑4 to Mathare United, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

No end in sight to Sofapaka's wait for a win
5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Sofapaka has to find a result from somewhere.

Clifton Miheso was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 23. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Tempers go at Sofapaka
David Nshimirimana 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.
Match19 Aug 2026
Nobody could stop scoring
6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Sofapaka and Mathare United in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Words at Sofapaka training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Clifton Miheso is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Ninety minutes of Finlay Sanduku at his very best
Marked 8.04. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Sofapaka.
Match22 Aug 2026
Sofapaka caught on 87 minutes
The board was up, the win was priced in, and then KCB scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.
In brief
- Squad Patrick Manyama signs a new deal
- Match Sofapaka share the spoils with KCB
- Market Muranga Seal expected to open talks for Nelson Likhanga
