Kariobangi Sharks moved closer to the Kenyan Premier after edging out Ligi Ndogo 1-0 at Camp Toyoyo grounds yesterday.

 For Ligi Ndogo, the loss ended their stay in the second tier league as they are the second relegated side. Sharks moves to 80 points after 37 matches.

With one match to go, Sharks are almost assured of a place in the top league next season. Ibrahim Kitawi’s strike goal in the 80th minute was all Kariobangi Sharks needed to win yesterday’s match.

 Kitawi has been impressive for Sharks this season scoring crucial goals and was the first to test their opponent’s backline.
