Match report

Liooli made light work of their visit to Machokha on Tuesday evening, running out 5-0 winners in the Premier League's fourth round of fixtures. The result leaves the visitors top of the table with ten points from four games, while the hosts remain winless at the bottom with none.

Machokha's situation has only grown more desperate since the season began. Four defeats in four matches means they have yet to find the win that would lift them from 16th place. Their recent form has been uniformly poor, with losses to Linare, University Limkokwing, LKS and Lipake already in their record.

Liooli, by contrast, have kept three clean sheets on the spin and are running out of games without a point. Three wins and a draw from their opening four matches puts them firmly in control of the early table. Their away victory over Machokha was the most comprehensive of their campaign so far.

And here's the thing — we had fancied their chances before kick-off. A 57 percent confidence in an away win, and the result confirmed that assessment. They stretched the back line with ease and punished every mistake. The scoreline tells you everything about how one-sided this was.

The gap between the two sides has never looked wider. Liooli sit ten points clear of anyone in second place, while Machokha's zero points and negative goal difference mark them as the team to beat — if anyone can.
