Rocky farm 4 vs 0 South City Fc

South City Fc faced Rocky Farm in a league away fixture at the Arichem Grounds on 5 April 2026, kicking off at 1:15pm. The match ended in a 4-0 defeat for South City Fc, with Rocky Farm dominating proceedings throughout the 90 minutes plus added time.

South City Fc lined up in a traditional 4-4-2 formation, aiming to balance defensive solidity with attacking options. Vicky Mwangi took her place between the sticks as goalkeeper. The defensive line consisted of David Nakhunghu at right back, Dominic Korir and Bedan Muchiri as central defenders, and Amos Kimelly on the left. In midfield, Fabian Otieno operated on the right wing, D Dennis and James Daya held the central midfield roles, while Nick Kantai provided width on the left. Up front, Rodney Korir and Alvin Lole were tasked with leading the attack. The substitutes named were C Wasafi and Kenneth Mutisya.

From the outset, Rocky Farm imposed themselves on the game, and it was no surprise when they opened the scoring in the 25th minute. A well-struck right-footed effort from outside the box found the back of the net, leaving Mwangi with little chance. Just five minutes later, Rocky Farm doubled their advantage with another long-range strike, again from outside the area and executed with the right foot, further unsettling South City Fc’s defensive organisation.

South City Fc struggled to regain composure as the first half wore on, and a costly defensive error allowed Rocky Farm to extend their lead in the 42nd minute. This close-range finish was a result of poor clearance and positioning, compounding the visitors’ woes. The half concluded with South City Fc trailing 3-0, a scoreline that reflected Rocky Farm’s control and clinical finishing.

At half-time, South City Fc made two immediate changes. Bedan Muchiri was replaced by C Wasafi due to injury, while Amos Kimelly was substituted for Kenneth Mutisya in a tactical move aimed at shoring up the left side of defence. These changes were intended to stem the flow of goals and inject fresh energy into the side.

Despite the adjustments, South City Fc’s defensive frailties persisted. In the 70th minute, Dominic Korir received a yellow card for dissent, indicating rising tensions and frustration within the team. Just three minutes later, Rocky Farm capitalised once more on a defensive mistake, this time with a left-footed finish from outside the box, sealing a comprehensive 4-0 victory.

Referee Nancy Juma oversaw the match with a performance that rated as average, managing the game without major controversy but unable to influence the outcome. The modest crowd of 150 witnessed a dominant Rocky Farm display and a tough afternoon for South City Fc.

In summary, South City Fc’s 4-0 defeat at Arichem Grounds was marked by defensive lapses and a lack of attacking threat, with Rocky Farm taking full advantage of the opportunities presented. The substitutions made at half-time failed to alter the course of the match, leaving South City Fc to reflect on a disappointing away day.
