“We are a work on progress and we will get better. Tusker dominated the first half but we made some tactical changes in the second half and we did well. We however need to score goals and this is a problem as a coach I am working on. We only need patience from the fans and management and with time things will be better,”
Coach comments
“We have a very young squad. For instance I used Patrick Otieno who is a form four student and my right-back is also an upcoming youngster. We played well but the end result is not good . We are building a team and I believe we will get better. – Bernard Mwalala, Nzoia Sugar FC Head Coach
“I am happy with the performance but what I demand from my players is consistency and I hope they can carry on with that performance in the upcoming matches.” – Sam Timbe, Tusker FC Head Coach
