FKFPL Alfred Tanui's brace for Talanta halts Posta Rangers unbeaten season start
Posta Rangers' unbeaten run ends as FC Talanta secures victory with Alfred Tanui scoring a brace for the winning side.
Kamau, whose team made two changes from their previous match against the sugar millers, expressed his candid assessment of the game.
"We did not deserve a win. If you look at the first, second, and third goals we conceded, they all stemmed from our own mistakes. The opponent played his heart out, and congratulations to him," he said.
The match, held at the Ruaraka grounds, got off to an electrifying start as Alfred Emoni capitalised on Rangers goalkeeper Samuel Njau's mistake, slotting home the opener for Talanta just five minutes into the game.

FKFPL Fleet-footed Curtis Wekesa reveals reason behind Posta Rangers' impeccable form
Wekesa has been an integral part of John Kamau’s side as Rangers have taken the FKF Premier League by storm so far this season.
In the second half, Posta displayed remarkable determination, launching numerous attempts to level the match. Yet, it was Talanta's Tanui who ultimately sealed the deal, securing a 3-1 victory against the league leaders.
"It is a good check on how we move from this point. It was one bad day at the office, and we did not expect to go unbeaten, but what is important is how we correct ourselves. We have lost to a better team," Kamau emphasised the importance of learning from the setback.
This defeat marks a significant turning point for FC Talanta, not only ending Posta Rangers' unbeaten run but also marking their first-ever victory against the league leaders.
