Back in 2021, Sofapaka also soiled KCB's title hopes prompting a famous Zico interview.
KCB FC missed the chance to go level on points with Kenya Police FC as they drew 0-0 with David Ouma's Sofapaka in a match played at the Kasarani Annex on Monday evening.
The game was fairly even in the first half, with neither team creating any real inroads in the others’ half, and the only thing that looked lively was the fan blowing a vuvuzela at the southeast of the Kasarani annex.

FKFPL Sofapaka boss Ouma proud of young charges despite Police drubbing
Ouma fielded three youngsters against a vastly experienced and star-studded Kenya Police.
Sofapaka created the biggest chance of the first-half through Ben Stanely, whose volley troubled the bankers' defense but Maurice Owino cleared it out for safety
KCB would however, start brighter of the two sides after the break, creating the clearest goalscoring opportunity after a nice intricate one-two between Erikson Mulu and Musa Masika resulted in the latter whipping a dangerous ball into the box towards the onrushing Kennedy Ochino, but the Bankers’ top scorer could not get on the end of the cross.
This prompted Zedekiah “Zico” Otieno into making changes in the 49th minute, with Francis Kahiro coming on for Brian Chepmweno as he attempted to find a way to get someone to occupy space between the lines to beat Sofapaka’s mid-block.
