Mathare United’s first chance in the first half came in the 22nd minute when Daniel Otieno attempted a close-range effort but Humphrey Katasi did well to parry away the ferocious shot.
Nzoia’s head coach Ibrahim Shikanda made a change in the 49th minute when he introduced Ian Simiyu for Phillip Muchuma in order to add a sharper cutting edge for the striking department.
Despite the change, the Millers conceded in the 55th minute when Kinyanjui headed past Katasi after connecting to a cross delivered by Tyson Otieno. Three minutes later, Klinsman Omulanga was yellow carded as Salim Ali made a change by introducing John Mwangi for Danson Kago.
Goal on Friday. Some of my players looked fatigued and at some point, they struggled to match their opponents. It played a part in our draw at home. But we appreciate the point that we managed to pick.
After this weekend, the league takes a break and will resume after two weeks and the former Ulinzi Stars coach has expressed his relief. At least the break will give us some time to rest and restructure, Ali stated. The players will get some time to get their energy back and ensure we have a better re-start on resumption. We have at least managed to play together as a team and it has given me more insight of the players considering the fact that we did not have time for proper pre-season.
