Tusker FC head coach Robert Matano has rued lack of concentration and poor marking for his side’s 1-0 loss to Kakamega Homeboyz in an FKF Premier League game staged at the Bukhungu Stadium on Thursday afternoon.A George Odiwuor fourth minute goal is all the Abana be Ingo needed to beat the defending champions and in the process moved to top in the FKF Premier League with 24 points. Second-placed KCB are three points adrift of in-form Bernard Mwalala’s charges.The defeat was also Tusker’s fourth in eight league games this season and eight matches into the 2021/22 campaign, the Brewers’ title defence is already in shambles as they keep faltering and keeping pace with the leading pack is slowly becoming a tall order.Full Time:Homeboyz 1-0 TuskerOdiwour 4′ pic.twitter.com/dE5pJ0nPIv— Kakamega Homeboyz FC (@FcHomeboyz) December 23, 2021 Matano watched it all and believes the goal Homeboyz scored would have been prevented through better marking in the area full focus from his players. He also believes that his team was a little unfortunate not to pick anything out of the game. The team now breaks for two days before resuming training in readiness for their next assignment against Mathare United scheduled for 29th December in Ruaraka.“We’ve lost the game because they scored in the run of play, it’s not like they were dominant. A moment of lack of concentration and poor marking cost us. We tried to come back into the game and score but unfortunately, luck was not on our side and that basically summarizes today’s game. We now go for recess for the next two days and resume preparation for our next game,” he stated.Tusker are currently 12th in the log with ten points. They are 14 points adrift of leaders Homeboyz although the Kakamega-based side has played two more games.
