FKFPL Moses Adagala revels at Stephen Bulugu's performance against Kenya Police
Muhoroni Youth FC's Stephen Bulugu hailed as man of the match in a 1-1 draw against Kenya Police FC boosting survival hopes.
Kimani expressed his frustration over the team's failure to adhere to the strategic plan designed to counter Homeboyz's strengths.
"It was a difficult game, as we expected Homeboyz to come in full force since they are a good team. We had our chances but we never utilized them. We failed to defend, we lacked concentration and gave the opponent space in very dangerous areas, and we were punished," Kimani lamented.
The loss saw Ulinzi Stars drop to the 14th position on the league table, now dangerously close to the relegation zone, with only 26 points from 24 matches.
