National Super League (NSL) side Kisumu AllStars enhanced their chances of returning to the Football Kenya Federation Premier League(FKFPL) after edging Murang’a Seal 2-1 at the Moi Stadium, Kisumu on Friday afternoon.

AllStars were axed to the second tier in November last year after falling to Vihiga United in the promotion/relegation playoff.

Following the win, AllStars now have 24 points while Murang’a remains second from the bottom with a paltry nine points.
