Fatigue cost us because my players were somehow tired and I thank them because irrespective of the challenges, they played well, We were leading before the opponents scored late on. I am okay, I wanted a draw in this game and we got it and we leave Kakamega heads high,” “he told Mozzart Sport.Despite losing three games in a row before meeting Homeboyz, Akwana doesn’t believe that they have been performing dismally on the pitch. He wants his side to build on the draw against Homeboyz by beating Nairobi City Stars over the weekend.”You can lose a game that you have played so well in. For example in our match against Talanta we played so well but still lost, today we played well and drew and so a result doesn’t really give the full picture of the game. In our next game against City Stars we are going to give our best to get a win,” he added.
