KCB tore apart Nairobi City Stars 4-1 despite going down to 10 men late in the game to climb to third in the table.
KCB FC assistant coach Elvis Ayany has expressed satisfaction at his side’s improvement from set-piece situations in the 4-1 win over Nairobi City Stars in a league match played at the Kasarani Annex on Sunday.
Nicholas Kipkirui, Haniff Wesonga, Francis Kahiro, and Danson Namasaka were on target for the Bankers with Kelvin Etemesi scoring the consolation for City Stars.
KCB ended the match one man down after Namasaka was sent off just five minutes after he had scored the fourth but the visitors could do so little in the final 10 minutes to make their numerical advantage count.
