for a goalless draw against newcomers 3K FC, and Shabana FC returning to winning ways.Away from the action on the pitch, some tacticians managed to ease the pressure on their shoulders, while others saw their positions come under increasing scrutiny.McCarthy threatens FIFA, CAF action over unpaid salaries as Harambee Stars face South AfricaHaving followed the action across the weekend, Mozzart Sport highlights six key talking points from the latest round of fixtures.Alpha Onyango's wizardry rescues Gor MahiaIt is becoming increasingly difficult to overlook Alpha Onyango's influence on Gor Mahia, with the Harambee Stars midfielder once again proving decisive for the record Kenyan champions.The Kakamega High School alumnus came to K'Ogalo's rescue with a stunning 89th-minute volley to salvage a point against Nairobi United.##NAJAVA_MECA_10101978##With Naibois seemingly on course for their maiden victory of the season, goalkeeper Bernard Jairo failed to deal with a clearance, allowing the ball to fall kindly to Alpha, who unleashed a spectacular effort from the centre circle to restore parity.Gor Mahia had struggled to impose themselves for much of the encounter and appeared destined for defeat before the midfielder produced a moment of individual brilliance.While the champions will have plenty to reflect on following another unconvincing performance, Alpha's continued influence remains a major positive for the Green Army.Wanyama, Oliech lead star-studded Harambee Stars Legends squad to face Arsenal LegendsDefense proving to be AFC Leopards' forteWhile much of the attention surrounding AFC Leopards has focused on their blunt attack and struggles in front of goal, their defensive solidity deserves equal recognition.Without a reliable backline, Ingwe's campaign could easily have taken a much worse turn, especially given their struggles to convert chances into victories.Marshalled by new signing Kevin Luke Otiala and backed by the dependable Tom Ikara between the posts, Leopards have kept five clean sheets in their opening six league matches.##NAJAVA_MECA_10101977##That defensive record has been instrumental in keeping them unbeaten and within touching distance of the teams at the top of the table.As Ingwe supporters continue to demand greater attacking output from their forwards, they should also acknowledge the defensive unit that has provided a solid foundation for the team's promising start.Shabana's attacking firepower eases pressure on Ahmed FathiShabana FC head coach Ahmed Fathi will be relieved after his attackers finally delivered a performance that could help ease the growing pressure surrounding his position.FKF speaks on reports of McDonald Mariga being replaced as vice-presidentThe Egyptian tactician had come under increasing scrutiny from supporters and club management following a slow start to the campaign.Despite showing glimpses of quality, Shabana had managed just one victory and scored only two goals in their opening matches, raising concerns about their attacking effectiveness.However, a more fluid attacking display against Mombasa United saw the Glamour Boys find the net three times to secure an important victory.##NAJAVA_MECA_10101977##The result offered Fathi some much-needed breathing space and demonstrated the attacking potential that Shabana supporters have been waiting to see.The challenge now is to build on that performance and establish greater consistency in front of goal.APS Bomet's worrying trend of conceding late goalsMozzart Bet-sponsored APS Bomet could have found themselves much higher in the standings were it not for their worrying tendency to concede in the closing stages of matches.'Now that is Matano' – KCB head coach bullish after dramatic win over APS BometUnder head coach Sammy 'Pamzo' Omollo, the Law Enforcers have shown considerable defensive discipline, conceding just three goals in their opening six matches.However, all three have come after the 85th minute, a statistic that highlights a potentially costly weakness in their game management.An 89th-minute equaliser from Alpha Onyango denied them victory against Gor Mahia, forcing them to settle for a draw.##NAJAVA_MECA_10101974##They subsequently surrendered two points against Nairobi United after conceding a 96th-minute equaliser in a 1-1 draw.Their latest setback was perhaps the most painful, as KCB snatched a 94th-minute winner to secure a 1-0 victory despite playing with 10 men following Amatton Samunya's 75th-minute dismissal.For a team that has otherwise demonstrated impressive defensive organisation, addressing their late-game concentration and management will be crucial if they are to mount a serious challenge this season.STARS ABROAD: Marcelo scores and assists in Raków win as Ochieng, Wanjala feature in Spain3K FC slowly turning Embu into a fortressMozzart Bet-backed 3K FC are gradually establishing Moi Stadium in Embu as a daunting venue for visiting teams.The league newcomers have made an encouraging start to life in the top flight, particularly on home soil, where they have demonstrated resilience and an ability to compete against more established sides.In their three home matches so far, 3K have twice fought back from behind to secure a 2-2 draw against Mara Sugar, claimed a 2-1 victory over Murang'a Seal in the Murima Derby and held AFC Leopards to a goalless draw.##NAJAVA_MECA_10101975##Against Ingwe, the Embu-based side arguably looked the more threatening of the two teams and could have taken all three points had they converted a penalty opportunity.With strong backing from their home supporters, 3K appear determined to make Moi Stadium an uncomfortable destination for visiting teams.Maintaining that home form could prove vital in their bid to establish themselves in the FKF Premier League during their maiden top-flight campaign.Fred Ambani praises Ikara, raises concern over Leopards' poor finishingLopaga finds a home at Murang'a SealJosephat Lopaga is quickly becoming one of the standout performers of the FKF Premier League season, with the Murang'a Seal forward enjoying an impressive start to life at his new club.Having overcome a difficult upbringing as a former street boy, with roots in the dusty village of Baragoi, the striker is now making headlines for his performances on the football pitch.The former Dhofar attacker has scored seven goals in his first six matches for Murang'a Seal, immediately establishing himself as one of the leading contenders for the Golden Boot award.##NAJAVA_MECA_10101976##Tasked with filling the void left by Joe Waithira's departure, Lopaga has responded emphatically, giving MSeal a reliable attacking outlet and restoring confidence in their forward line.If he maintains his current scoring form, the striker could emerge as one of the biggest success stories of the 2026/27 FKF Premier League campaign.
