Seth Willis 19:50 EAT 28/02/2021 The two teams settled for a goalless draw in a Kenyan top-tier assignment on Saturday, and the coach believes they should have beaten the Powermen
Vihiga United coach Sammy Okoth believes his charges had enough chances to defeat Western Stima.
The two Football Kenya Federation Premier League teams met at the Mumias Complex on Saturday but ended up sharing the spoils after settling for a goalless draw.
The tactician believes the outcome would have been different if his team maximized the chances created. It was a game I believe we should have comfortably won owing to the chances we created, Okoth told
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.
Goal on Monday. We have not been paid our salaries for the last six months, this is going to be our seventh month. And prior to our action, nothing concrete had been done by those responsible. So we sat down with the coach and felt the better thing to do is to resign.
However, the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Premier League side is trying to find a solution to keep them at United. The management has however refused to let us go saying they are looking for a solution, Yakhama added. We have a meeting with management, and we are waiting to see what they are putting on the table. Yes, we love being at this team, but it is tough working without a salary.
However, Kapaito rose to the occasion to turn the game around for Sharks as he scored in the 70th minute to level matters and then in the 76th minute to seal maximum points.
Meanwhile, Posta Rangers were held to a 1-1 draw by visiting Bandari. As the first half tempo was being set into motion Bandari forward Yema Mwana managed to knock down the postmen’s defence and bag a goal before the sound of the buzzer.
After the break, Posta Rangers got back in the game after Jackson Dwang put in an equalizer, to close the scores at 1-1. Elsewhere, at the Afraha Stadium in Nakuru, Ulinzi Stars earned their first win of the season after trouncing Kakamega Homeboyz 2-0.
