Instant Impact: Waibi, Biko and Kepha Aswani Light up Nairobi United Debut

Sportpesa Premier League side Nairobi United romped to a 2-0 victory over KCB in a midweek league encounter staged at the Kasarani Stadium yesterday. New signings proved impactful as the Mozzartbet cup winners cruised over the bankers as they enhance preparations for the CAF Confederations cup and their maiden top-tier league campaign. New signing Charles Moses Waibi made his debut against KCB, coming off the bench. The Ugandan international made an immediate impact after coming on, winning a crucial foul right at the edge of the 18-yard area. The resulting free kick proved decisive, with Ovellah Ochieng' stepping up to curl the ball into the top corner of the net for Nairobi United’s second goal. Another debutant Kepha Aswani Wanjala, also marked a major milestone in his career, making his Premier League debut and featuring for the entire 90 minutes in the starting lineup. The youth team graduant marked his arrival with a telling contribution, delivering a crucial pass from deep that picked out Shami Mwinyi Kibwana, who in turn assisted Dancan Omalla to slot home Nairobi United’s opening goal. Having already tasted action in the CAF continental competitions earlier in the season, this appearance marked his first major local league feat, completing another step in a remarkable rise. Aswani joined the club from South C Rangers, making a bold jump from Division Two football into the top flight. Before his arrival, he had also impressed in the Sakaja Super Cup, helping Kawasaki reach the final in the two editions played, finishing runners-up on each occasion. New signing Steve Biko Omollo also made his club debut, coming off the bench as Nairobi United saw off KCB. The central defender, who joined the NaiBois from Kariobangi Sharks this January, added defensive solidity late in the match and helped see out the victory. His introduction marks the first step in integrating him into the squad as Nairobi United continues to build depth and resilience at the back.
