There are moments that he kept us in the game and that’s important because sometimes you require some individual brilliance in some situations and today he delivered, I am pleased with him,” he said.Posta were the better side in the terms of chances created. They put pressure on the hosts from the start to the end of the game and Wazito had to ride on luck in some stages of the game and for Kimanzi, playing two games a week is taking a toll on the players.“It is now easy to play in midweek and the weekend because these players get tired and you cannot maintain that level performance because fatigue creeps in. We have been trying to manage the situation by making some rotation to ensure that the players remain fit and fresh,” he added.Next for Wazito is an away game against Vihiga United. The match will be played at the Nakuru ASK on Friday afternoon.
