KCB assistant coach Geoffrey Oduor has promised a tooth and nail finish to the end of the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) after his team narrowly lost out on a historic chance of representing the country in the prestigious CAF Champions League.At the start of the final deciding day on June 30th, KCB who sat in second place on 43 points trailed log leading Tusker by just one point and needed to win their match against Nzoia Sugar and hope that a resurgent Ulinzi Stars who had not lost a game a since football’s resumption would manage to stop the Brewers from getting a needed win.Watu wa live football apps hii nayo Mungu hatawasamehea. KCB walijua wako ndani yawa😂#FFP pic.twitter.com/xbbuFX4RHG— Friends of Football (@friendsofutball) July 1, 2021 Although the Bankers won 2-1 against Nzoia, the result was not enough as Tusker survived an early scare, coming from behind to thump Ulinzi 4-1 in Nakuru courtesy of an own goal and goals from Christopher Onyango, Brian Marita and Kevin Okoth in order to book the continental ticket.Following the near historic feat, the Bankers assistant quickly urged his side to shift their focus back to the league where they aim to grab the title from the grasp of Tusker who still have a one-point advantage over them.“The boys really fought and gave it everything they had. In the end, it is only one point that made the difference between us and Tusker. I would love to congratulate them on the win. Ours now is to focus on winning the league title,” Oduor said.Hi @CAF_Online , Can we be friends? 😉😉#KenyaMilele #Brewers4Life— Tusker FC (@tusker_fc) June 30, 2021 The Bankers will take a rest on Matchday 23 when Tusker will face a stern test against defending champions Gor Mahia who will want to stake a claim in the defence of their title as the campaign has only ten games left. Should Gor fail to stop the Robert Matano-coached side, KCB will have the chance to do so on their own as they take on Tusker in their next encounter on July 10th.
