Sally Bolo, the former treasurer of Gor Mahia FC, has shared her reaction to the loss of Kenya Police FC in their FKF Mozzart Cup against Ulinzi stars.
Bolo expressed disappointment that the team did not seem to know how to use their all-round experienced players effectively during the match against Ulinzi Stars FC.
The match was a closely contested affair that saw Kenya Police take an early lead through Elvis Rupia’s penalty.
However, Ulinzi Stars equalized from the spot through Boniface Muchiri’s penalty in the second half.
The game seemed to be headed for a penalty shootout, but Ulinzi Stars scored a late winner in added time to secure their passage to the next round of the competition.
“Our fans and officials are sad and I must say that we played badly today and didn’t deserve to win. My players were heavy and rarely crossed our opponents half, our coordination was also poor. Now we have to focus on the league,” said Kenya Police coach Francis Baraza.
His opposite number Bernard Mwalala said that when he brought on Masinde for injured Masita Masuta, it didn’t cross his mind that he would score.
“My players have really made me happy, especially Masinde who scored the winner for us. This is another road to CAF (Confederation Cup) and we will have to fight even in the quarter-final stage against Sofapaka to progress. We deserved to win this game,” said Mwalala.
