Posta Rangers continued their strong start to the 2025/26 FKF Premier League season with a vital 2-1 victory over Shabana at Gusii Stadium, a venue known for its fervent atmosphere. The win not only extended their unbeaten run but also saw them rise to the top of the league standings with 10 points from four matches.
The match saw Posta Rangers take control early, with Brian Marita scoring just before halftime and Teddy Trevor adding a second goal in the 80th minute. Although Shabana pulled one back through Victor Omondi, the damage had been done, and the visitors held on for a well-earned win.
Coach Sammy “Pamzo” Omollo’s game plan focused on neutralizing the home crowd’s influence. “We knew that if we could silence the fans early, we could control the game. Once the crowd gets behind Shabana, it becomes very difficult to stop them,” said Omollo. His team executed the plan perfectly, controlling the game’s tempo and frustrating Shabana’s high-intensity press.
Posta Rangers’ disciplined approach in the first 20 minutes ensured they withstood Shabana’s early pressure. After scoring the two goals at crucial moments, Posta’s defense remained solid, even as Shabana launched a stronger attack in the second half. Despite conceding late, Omollo stressed the importance of defensive resilience, “Our foundation is built on clean sheets, and we will continue to focus on defensive solidity as the season progresses.”
The win highlighted Posta Rangers’ tactical maturity, with Omollo’s men now emerging as serious contenders in what is shaping up to be one of the most competitive FKF Premier League seasons in recent years. For Shabana, the defeat was a wake-up call. Despite the passionate support of their fans, they struggled to break through Posta’s well-organized defense and will need to regroup quickly for their next match.
As the season unfolds, Posta Rangers’ blend of tactical discipline and composure makes them a team to watch, poised to challenge for the league title.
