Mathare United survival hopes suffered a huge setback on Saturday after losing 3-0 to Bandari in a Football Kenya Federation Premier League match at Mbaraki Sports Club.
The Dockers led 2-0 at half-time courtesy of goals by Johanna Mwita and Keegan Zakayo before Mwita sealed the win in the second half to send Bandari third on 49 points.
Mathare are now a point above the danger zone with 24 points and in real danger of relegation with two matches left to play.
Bottom-placed Western Stima have 22 points with two matches remaining while 16th-placed Vihiga United are on 23 points with one match to play.
Elsewhere, Lawrence Juma scored his 15th goal of the season to inspire Sofapaka to a 3-0 win over Wazito in an early kick off match at Thika Stadium.
