Goal on Sunday. Yes, Gor Mahia dominated, but we denied them spaces to be comfortable. We had a plan of frustrating them and I am glad our objective was achieved since they did not break our defence and we kept a clean sheet. We finally got them late into the game and scored the winning goal.
The former Zoo FC coach believes the win is what they needed to boost their confidence ahead of their forthcoming assignments. We have been having off-pitch issues that are financially related, and during times like these the players need something to boost their confidence and morale, Okoth continued.
“Batambuze has signed a two-year contract with the Magnificent People s Team.”
The left-back started his playing at Simba FC of Uganda before he moved to Kenya to sign for Muhoroni Youth in 2011 but later moved back to Uganda where he signed for SC Villa before returning to Kenya to join Western Stima.
He also featured for Sofapaka and Tusker in Kenya before he signed for Gor Mahia, whom he helped win the league title on two occasions.
He later suffered a knee injury during Gor Mahia’s Caf Champions League match against Aigle Noir of Burundi and it was at this point when his troubles with the Kenyan club started.
