We extended our impressive early-season form with a confident 2–0 victory over Riders FC in the FKF Nairobi East Zone B league, making it two wins in a row and keeping the team undefeated after three matches.
The game’s opening goal came after sustained pressure from Mathare River FC forced Riders into a mistake inside their box. The referee pointed to the spot, and Augustine Obeto stepped forward with calm assurance. His perfectly placed penalty sent the goalkeeper the wrong way and handed Mathare River FC a deserved lead before halftime.
Riders FC tried to rally in the second half, pushing bodies forward in search of an equalizer. But we stayed disciplined, absorbed the pressure, and struck with precision on the counter.
The moment of the match came when Moses Benard unleashed a powerful heavy shot from outside the area. The ball rocketed past the helpless goalkeeper, doubling the advantage and energizing the entire squad—and the supporters on the touchline.
The performance was a testament to the team’s growing chemistry and determination. From the backline’s composure to the midfield’s work rate and the attackers’ sharpness, every player contributed to securing another vital three points.
With this result, Mathare River FC remain unbeaten in the league, a strong statement of intent this early in the season.
The journey continues next weekend as we travel to Mahiga Primary for our fourth league match against Kisima FC. It promises to be another competitive fixture, and the team is ready to build on the momentum and keep the unbeaten run alive.
Fans are encouraged to come out in numbers, support the boys, and keep the energy high on this exciting campaign.
As always, Mathare River FC proudly carries the message of #Football4Plastic, using the power of sport to inspire environmental responsibility, community engagement, and youth empowerment. Every match is part of a larger mission—playing for progress on and off the pitch.
