The Premier League clash between Shabana FC and Kenya Police on 16 September 2023 ended in a 1-1 draw in a match characterised by numerous infringements and missed chances.

Shabana FC opened scoring in the second half during the 88th minute, taking command of the game. However, Kenya Police made a quick response in the 94th minute to level the game. Despite the opportunity to maintain their lead, Shabans FC failed to hold their ground against the resolute Kenya Police.

Shabana FC had been more aggressive, garnering more infringements with total yellow cards (4) compared to Kenya Police with only two. Discipline seemed to be an issue for the home team as they lost crucial opportunities in the game due to fouls and offsides committed (4).

Shabana FC displayed dominance with set-pieces, having had 2 successful corner kicks, which were all unfortunately unsuccessful in leading to goals. Kenya Police, however, failed to create any corner kick opportunities during the match. This signifies a weaker offensive intrusion from Kenya Police against the defence of Shabana FC.

Similarly, Shabana FC's seeming reliance on an offside trap strategy to catch the Police off-guard indicated a game plan aimed at thwarting the approach of the away team, leading to 4 offsides. Kenya Police managed 2 offsides, highlighting an effort to break through Shabana FC's defensive line.

The number of offsides and yellow cards face by Shabana FC showcases their aggressive playstyle. However, this aggressive approach might lead to a lack of discipline, which is reflected by their increasing yellow cards tally.

In conclusion, while Shabana FC displayed greater aggression and dominance in set-piece opportunities, the team's lack of discipline may have cost them the victory. Kenya Police, despite having fewer corner kick opportunities and incursions into their opponent’s offside area, seized their chance to equalise and kept their discipline, recording fewer infractions in this evenly fought contest.
