I can say that my son and wife were seriously injured. My wife got a leg fracture and she is under the good care of doctors. My son got a fracture in his hand and went under surgery at night, but he is in a stable condition. We had attended a funeral service and organised to travel back on Tuesday and just past Lessos, our tyre burst and the car lost control. The driver tried his best but the impact was too huge to be controlled, so we rolled over three times. The people of Nandi reacted very fast and rescued us. We received first aid in Kapsabet and became very stable, so we asked to be transferred to Kakamega, where we have close relatives.
He literally carried us in the first leg, and [on Saturday] he showed his worth again with great saves that kept us in the game. He deserves to be where he is and even at the national team, he deserves that number one jersey. I have to appreciate my players for their hard work and dedication. We had time to reflect on the first leg when football was suspended and an advantage too of watching the first week as football resumed and we set a clear path that we want to follow.

When Isaac Kipyegon was red-carded in the 49th minute, AFC Leopards made two changes to reinforce the backline as Hanel Ochiueng and Robinson Kamura replaced Bienvenue Shaka and Caleb Olilo.
Three corners – that came as a result of late pressure on Posta Rangers – were unable to earn AFC Leopards the much-needed goal.

This season, I told myself that I have to be the best and taste the feeling of being crowned the winner. I have worked hard with that in mind ever since the season began.
The 35-year-old was in goal as Kenya defeated Togo 2-1 in Lome in the Africa Cup of Nations Group G qualifiers. It was his debut match in a competitive match. It has been my dream to play for the national team ever since I started playing at Mathare Youth, Saruni continued. I have been working and fighting for this chance and finally it came. I am so happy and thankful to the coaches for believing in me and I am also grateful to my family because they have been my pillar of support.
