A minute late, Ingwe almost went behind after a misunderstanding at the back between the defenders and goalkeeper Benjamin Ochan. However, they recovered and cleared the danger.  Odhiambo once more found a way past the Nzoia Sugar defenders but his shot went out with Mangala beaten in goal in the 17th minute.

"The competition in the team is very tough and that drives everyone to work hard and take their chances. I think this depth will be vital for us this season."

The tactician is happy with the result but his eyes now are on the next assignment against Bidco United. "It was a very tough game because Nzoia came very hard on us, they were physical and had the energy to run," Wanjala continued.
