MCF off the mark as Kisumu All Stars, Nairobi United settle for less

Seven games of desperation and misery finally came to an end for Mully Children Family FC (MCF FC) on Sunday afternoon as they registered their first win this season, beating Migori Youth 1-0 at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos.

MCF were the only side without a win heading into round eight of the second tier, and winger Ramadhan Mwanzia was the savior as he hit the fastest National Super League goal this term in the 1st minute of play.

The goal was enough to lift the Robert Arasa Orangi-coached side out of the bottom of the league’s standings for the first time since the start of the campaign.

Having amassed a total of seven points, MCF are now 18th on the standings, while Migori, who suffered the second defeat of the season, dropped to 12th on the NSL log.

The stalemate, however, did not affect the standings for both Nairobi and Assad, as they stayed rooted seventh and eighth on twelve and eleven points, respectively.
