Bandari's ruthless finishing in the second half was enough to give them all the three points at Kariobangi Sharks' expense at the Kasarani Annex on Saturday.
Bandari FC will be travelling back to Mombasa grinning from ear to ear after their rampant second-half display was enough to give them all three points following a 2-0 win over Kariobangi Sharks at the Kasarani Annex on Saturday afternoon.
The first half was just a tale of Kariobangi Sharks classically trying to work the ball into the box while Bandari resorted to creating their own goal-scoring opportunities on the break.
After a fairly even first 30 minutes, Bandari had two opportunities to break the deadlock against the run of play, with striker Derrick Nsibambi playing a big part in threatening the Sharks' defense.

STARS ABROAD Harambee Stars defender set for epic showdown against Kylian Mbappe's PSG
Okumu will be facing Kylian Mbappe for the first time in his career hoping to get the better of the French superstar.
The first came in the 35th minute when he found himself through on goal but shot the ball over the bar. The second came when the Ugandan got the ball from the right flank before cutting inside with it to set up Hassan Beja, whose effort went just wide of the post.
Bandari became the first to ask questions after the break through James Kinyanjui, who was found down the right flank with a wonderful diagonal whipped in from the other flank before he crossed a ball from the byline leading to a corner.
Moments later, they would finally draw first blood through Nsibambi himself when he found the back of the net from a Kinyanjui corner.

'The players only earn Ksh.750 a day!' McDonald Mariga decries Harambee Stars players’ welfare
Mariga has revealed that the Football Kenya Federation owes him a lot of money, giving an example of how he had to cater for both his and Ismael Gonzalez’s traveling and accommodation expenses to honor a Harambee Stars game once.
Fidel Origa should have made it two when the evergreen Nsibambi managed to evade pressure inside the Sharks box before setting the defensive midfielder up, but he shot the ball way over the bar.
Sharks were certainly under pressure especially from setpieces, but had a chance to restore parity from a set piece situation in the 58th minute, but Luke Otiala’s effort landed straight onto the hands of the keeper.
They had another more clear-cut opportunity moments later which Geoffrey Onyango should have converted when Leonlevitt Otieno whipped in a low cross from the right wing but they could not make it count.
