FC Titanics Edge Kalalani FC 1-0 In Kyamatu Thriller

FC Titanics hosted Kalalani FC at New light stadium - Ndulikye on 14 December 2025, with kick-off at 5:00pm in a tightly contested tournament home match. The game ended 1-0 in favour of FC Titanics after a decisive penalty goal in the second half. The match was officiated by referee Kilonzo Kang'elu, with a modest crowd of 50 in attendance.

FC Titanics lined up in a 4-1-4-1 formation, aiming to balance defensive solidity with attacking flair. Musembi Wambua took his place between the sticks as goalkeeper, protected by a back four comprising Mutia Reuben at right back, central defenders Kithome Kole and John Makau, and Mateso Mulwa operating on the left. Kalivu Mulwa anchored the midfield in a holding role, tasked with breaking up opposition play and distributing the ball forward. Ahead of him, the midfield quartet featured Timothy Mutua on the right wing, Kevin Mulatya and Muli Nzimbu centrally as attacking midfielders, and Maluki Kyamba on the left. Leading the line was striker Mbisi Mwangi, expected to spearhead attacks and convert chances. No substitutes were named for this fixture.

The first half was a cagey affair, with both sides probing cautiously but unable to break the deadlock before the interval. FC Titanics’ defensive organisation kept Kalalani FC at bay, while their midfield tried to assert control without creating clear-cut opportunities. The half-time whistle arrived with the scoreline still goalless.

The breakthrough came midway through the second period. In the 64th minute, Timothy Mutua stepped up to convert a penalty awarded after a foul in the box. The penalty was expertly delivered with his right foot from close range, following a free kick situation that led to the spot-kick decision. Mutua’s composure under pressure proved decisive, giving FC Titanics the lead they would hold onto.

Following the goal, FC Titanics focused on maintaining their advantage, with the defence and goalkeeper Wambua showing resilience to repel Kalalani FC’s attempts to equalise. The visitors pressed forward but were unable to find a way past the disciplined defensive unit marshalled by Kole and Makau in the centre.

Mbisi Mwangi, leading the attack, was a constant threat throughout the match, linking play effectively and holding up the ball to bring teammates into the game. His work rate and presence earned him the player of the match accolade, despite not finding the net himself.

Referee Kilonzo Kang'elu managed the game with authority, allowing the match to flow while keeping control of key moments. The narrow victory secured FC Titanics valuable points in the tournament and delighted the home supporters who witnessed a hard-fought and well-earned triumph.
