Zico disappointed with Nzoia draw, blames result on fatigue

KCB head coach Zedekiah ‘Zico’ Otieno was left fuming with his charges for squandering a two-goal advantage to eventually share spoils with Nzoia Sugar on Thursday afternoon at Utalii grounds.The bankers who were seeking to move to a point within the reach of league leaders Kakamega Homeboyz conceded twice in the second half to share points with the visitors who didn’t have a coach on their technical bench. KCB were on course to bank three easy points after Derrick Otanga and Dennis Odhiambo netted easy goals for them but Nzoia halved the deficit through Kevin Juma before Boniface Kweyu plundering home the equalizer from the spot in the dying minutes of the game. Zico expressed displeasure with the manner in which his boys allowed the sugar men into the game and let them kiss their net twice in a game that all odds were in their favour.It ends in a stalemate at Utalii Grounds. KCB 2-2 Nzoia sugar FC.#sweeteningkenyanfootball. @FKFcaretaker @KCBFootball @Nzoiasugar @ElvisMukhwana pic.twitter.com/a8I7CyjMCQ— NZOIASUGARFC (@nzoiasugarfc2) December 30, 2021 “Of course I am disappointed with the results as at some point we were leading 2-0. It is not the kind of result we wanted in the game. We made simple mistakes and unfortunately, we paid for them, ” he said.The former Harambee Stars assistant coach who poured cold water on a suggestion that they underrated the Bungoma based club attributed the draw, their fourth in the term to the Christmas break. He said the breather affected the momentum and rhythm they had gained with its effects being manifested in the second half where the players appeared to ran short of gas.⚽️| A coachless Nzoia Sugar fought from two goals down in holding KCB in an entertaining match played at the Utalii grounds on Thursday afternoon.Report📩#KCB #NzoiaSugar #FKFPLhttps://t.co/8v88cOt1LX— Mozzart Sport Kenya (@MozzartSportKe) December 30, 2021 “There was an element of fatigue in the team as we didn’t train well considering that we broke for the holiday break and resumed training just the other day. The rhythm is no longer there but we will work hard to get back on track,” he said.Despite the result, KCB remained perched second on the log with 22 points, three off Homeboyz who are set to host FC Talanta in their next game.
