KCB’s struggles in the SportPesa Premier League deepened on Friday after the Bankers were held to a goalless draw by sixth-placed Bidco United at the Kasarani Annex , extending their winless run to five matches.
The result piles more pressure on head coach Robert Matano as his side continues to slip down the standings in the early stages of the campaign.
The Bankers, who came into the clash desperate to bounce back after a string of disappointing outings, failed once again to convert clear scoring chances despite dominating large spells of the match.

KCB have now recorded three defeats and two draws in their last five league outings, with their blunt attacking force emerging as their biggest undoing.
A visibly frustrated Matano faulted his forwards for their lack of sharpness in the final third, noting that poor decision-making and inadequate teamwork had cost them potential victories.
“Our attacking has been a bit low. There is no good connection because the players are not using their chances well. One point is acceptable, but not good enough,” Matano Said.
On the opposite end, Bidco United head coach Anthony Akhulia expressed satisfaction with the draw, describing it as a positive outcome against what he termed a strong KCB side despite their current slump.
Akhulia, however, admitted his team must address their own struggles in front of goal, having failed to score in their last three matches.
“We are happy with the point, but our target remains scoring goals. We must break that barrier because going several matches without a goal is not good for the team,” Akhulia said.
The result leaves Bidco United unmoved in sixth position with 12 points, maintaining their steady start to the season. Meanwhile, KCB sink further down the table and currently occupy 15th with 8 points.
KCB will be hoping to end their poor run when they face struggling Mara Sugar in their next league fixture .
