Eugene Wethuli got on the end of an inch perfect John Mwangi pass to give Mathare the all-important goal of the match that gave Ouna his maiden win on the sixth attempt. Speaking after the match, the former Wazito man praised his error prone team for staying concentrated in the entire game and utilizing their chances when needed.“To say that I am relieved is an understatement. A win was long overdue for us in three or four matches ago since I came. We have been playing well in creating chances but we have not been scoring. We have been making school boy errors that really cost us in the last two games. Today, we cut on those errors and we utilized the one chance we had today. This win is as big as it can get because it is like the players even forgot how to win because of how long it has been since their last victory back in February,” he said.Mathare United beat AFC Leopards 1-0.A match of mixed feelings for Khalid Jumaan.Released by AFC, now featured fully in the winning Mathare side.

They got one opportunity in the game which they scored while we got numerous chances especially in the second half which we did not utilize. It is a disappointment because we lost against the last placed team but I think after all these games fatigue is catching up with players who I think he their minds shifted to the 4th of July. What did not work is the efficiency when it came to the chances that came our way,” he said.Following the win, Mathare are still rooted at the bottom of the table but are just now four points off the safety places. Ingwe lost ground in the title race as they stayed in fourth place on 37 points.
