Police beat Mathare United 1-0 to put them eight points behind league leaders Tusker with four games left to play.
Kenya Police FC head coach Francis Baraza still believes that winning the title is a realistic expectation for his side following their 1-0 win over Mathare United at the Police Sacco Stadium, Nairobi on Sunday afternoon.
Police edged the Slum Boys courtesy of a goal by golden boot chaser Elvis Rupia which was enough to give the side three more points to a total tally of 56, just eight short of league leaders Tusker with four games left to play.

Since Baraza took charge of the club in December from Sammy Pamzo Omolo who was fired after overseeing a dismal start to the new season, Police have steadily climbed up the ladder, only losing one league match under his watch.
