Mieno breaks down strategies for winning future games after Nzoia Sugar loss

Tusker FC needs mental strength in order to win the next Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) matches, according to midfielder Humphrey Mieno.

After an impressive run that saw them go to the top of the table, the Brewers were stunned by Nzoia Sugar FC during their last game at Sudi Stadium on Saturday.

After registering the defeat, which saw them drop to the second spot, Mieno now calls for mental strength.

"The game wasn't easy; we knew that from the beginning. We worked hard and tried to get all three points, but we could not," the experienced midfielder was quoted as saying on the club’s social media pages.

"I feel we were unlucky in front of goal mainly because we were not composed and couldn't take our chances.

"I think we just need to focus and be strong mentally because the games are many and coming very fast. We need to try and pick up maximum points in our upcoming encounters."

With only two points separating Tusker from log leaders Gor Mahia and Nzoia Sugar, who are third with three fewer points, the title race is pointing to a tight one.

Tusker’s ability to bounce back will be tested when they host title hopefuls KCB at Ruaraka on Wednesday.

The Bankers fought hard and shared points with AFC Leopards in their respective weekend match that ended in a 2-2 draw.

KCB are fourth on the log with 49 points.
