Despite the win, Kibera coach David Vijago said the playing ground was muddy following heavy rain.
"At least we managed to register our third win of the season. We played well against a good side. I even wonder why our opponents are in the relegation zone with their style of play. The league is tough but we are trying to adapt with the big girls, we will do our best to remain top," said Vijago.
