Kakamega Homeboyz Suffers First Premier League Defeat

Nicholas Muyoti returned Kakamega to hand his former team Kakamega Homeboyz their first defeat of the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) SportPesa league defeat in a rescheduled fixture on Saturday, October 11, 2025 at Bukhungu Stadium. An early strike from Enock Machaka and an unfortunate own goal by Eugene Ochieng sealed the victory for Nicholas Muyoti’s charges, handing the Nairobi-based side their second win of the season while condemning Homeboyz to their first loss of the campaign to the 2023 Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Mozzarbet Cup champions. The two sides were meeting for the first time in a league match, marking their third outings of the 2025/26 season, which kicked off in September. The fixture was initially slated for Sunday, 21 September, but was postponed to allow Nairobi United to honour their CAF Confederation Cup commitments against Uganda’s NEC FC. This weekend’s clash was, however, not the first time the two sides have crossed paths. They previously met in last season’s Mozzart Bet Cup, where Nairobi United defeated Homeboyz 2–0, eliminating the 2023 champions on their way to lifting the title after edging Gor Mahia 2–1 in the final.
