The Kenya Police first choice between the posts has proven to be a crucial figure in their title charge.

With 10 clean sheets in 18 matches played, Ochieng has helped the law enforcers maintain their stay at the summit at this critical stage of the campaign.

Ochieng’s latest outing saw the shot-stopper add to his tally with a clean sheet against Nairobi City Stars in a 1-0 victory for Kenya Police.

That result saw Ochieng and Co. tighten their grip at the summit with 55 points.

Gor Mahia goalkeeper Gad Mathews is second on the log, though tied with subsequent shot-stoppers on nine clean sheets.

The K’Ogalo shot-stopper has achieved this in 15 matches played, the fewest among those tied with him.

His latest outing with Gor Mahia saw him extend his tally as the defending champions shut out Shabana at Gusii Stadium on Sunday.

The result took Mathews and his teammates closer to the summit with 53 points, placing them second behind Kenya Police.

The Tusker shot-stopper has played a key role in the Brewers’ title charge with brilliant performances in goal.

In just 17 games—the second fewest among the top five goalkeepers in Golden Glove contention—Opondo has amassed nine clean sheets, tying with Mathews in second place.

His heroics have helped the Brewers to place third with 52 points, three behind the leaders Kenya Police at this critical stage of the league campaign.

His latest outing ended with a clean sheet in a barren draw against AFC Leopards on Saturday.

Levis Opiyo has been one of AFC Leopards’ consistent performers, leading their charge for a respectable placing in the league.

The Ingwe shot-stopper has amassed nine clean sheets in 19 matches played.

His latest encounter ended in a barren draw when he came up against his opposing number, Brian Opondo, during Leopards’ draw against Tusker.

Closing off the top five is Kariobangi Sharks goalkeeper Sebastian Wekesa, who also sits on nine clean sheets but with 23 matches played.

The Kariobangi Sharks shot-stopper let one goal in as his side fell 1-0 to Kenya Police in their latest outing.

Wekesa is tied on nine with Ulinzi Stars’ goalkeeper Sylvaine Ricks, who follows behind him with 27 matches played.

Other goalkeepers in contention include Bandari’s Bryne Omondi and counterpart Farouk Shikalo, both on eight clean sheets in 17 matches.

Kakamega Homeboyz’s Patrick Matasi, Murang’a Seal’s Morgan Ambuka, and Mathare United’s Michael Wanyika follow with seven clean sheets each.
