Ulinzi Stars moved four points clear off the relegation zone after narrowly seeing off Mara Sugar 1-0 in a tight FKF Premier League match played at Dandora Stadium on Sunday.

Staphod Odhiambo emerged the hero after converting a pass from substitute Boniface Muchiri to seal maximum points for the soldiers in the 76th minute.

The win lifted Ulinzi to joint 11th with 19 points, four clear from the danger zone.
