Kariobangi Sharks-Mombasa United playoff abandoned amid late penalty chaos

The second leg of the FKF promotion playoff between Kariobangi Sharks and Mombasa United ended in chaos after Mombasa United were awarded a penalty in the dying minutes of the match. Kariobangi Sharks were leading 2-1, with the tie level at 3-3 on aggregate, leaving both teams needing one goal to secure promotion to the Kenya Premier League. The tension boiled over as fans invaded the pitch, forcing the referee to be escorted to safety. The penalty was not taken, and despite efforts to contain the chaos, the match was abandoned. The outcome now rests with the FKF, which will determine how the abandoned match is handled. The Kenya Premier League is scheduled to begin on October 9, with the aggregate winner between Kariobangi Sharks and Mombasa United set to face Kakamega Homeboyz in the first round.
