The custodian made his case with an assured performance against the Bright Stars. He read the game well and came out to make saves when needed, and was not afraid of committing himself when necessary.
Made a vital save in the first half to ensure Kenya did not concede. His distribution was top-notch as well. If he maintains his form and displays, expect him to be involved regularly in future assignments.

[Gor Mahia] are struggling, it is not abnormal in the game, it is very normal, Kimanzi told
Goal. We are just about to see how powerful they are, mentally, to bounce back. But at the same time, they are creating an opportunity for other teams to fight for the same trophy.
The former Harambee Stars coach further insisted Tusker FC look like the team to beat in the ongoing campaign. At the moment, Tusker are the best team in the league; they are more fluent and have been winning without struggle, Kimanzi continued. Despite them losing a game recently [against Bidco United] they have a very good team balance and are fluent in whatever they want in a game.
It is frustrating to be losing games like this. For me, it is the first time that I have had so many negative results in the first-leg at all the teams I have been to. We are down on our luck and it is tough but either way, we have to keep at it and believe in what we are trying to do.

The soft-speaking tactician further insisted this is not the right time to point fingers to anyone since it will not rectify anything. He has urged everyone involved to act together in unison and try to change their fortune.
Obiero, who is continuing to have good times since making his Kariobangi Sharks debut, made two quick saves in the 19th minute to deny Mathare s Lennox Ogutu and David Ochieng.
Kariobangi Sharks almost doubled the lead in the 25th minute when top scorer Erick Kapaito collected a poor clearance by Mathare s backline but his effort was stopped by the woodwork.
Lwasa, however, added the second goal for the visitors a minute past the half-hour mark with a low drive to punish a rather disjointed Slum Boys.
In the 52nd minute, Ochieng s free-kick flew just above the crossbar as Mathare United made their first attack of the second half.
