Ulinzi Stars moved top of the SportPesa League despite being held to a 0-0 draw by Kariobangi Sharks in a midweek match played at Ulinzi Sports Complex yesterday.
The soldiers had kicked off their 2025-2026 campaign with a narrow 1-0 win over Muranga Seal last weekend and were seeking to maintain a 100 percent start.
However, Sharks, who also dropped two points following their season-opening 0-0 stalemate against Bandari, proved tough to Ulinzi.
This draw, their sixth in their 19 meetings, leaves Ulinzi sitting top of the league with four points while Sharks sit sixth with two points.
Shabana, KCB, Posta Rangers and Bidco United all have three points following their round one wins and will be keen to leapfrog the soldiers when they take to the pitch over the weekend.
