Sven Yidah is a midfielder not synonymous with goals as he is with celebrations and for that reason, he was delighted to score his first goal for Nairobi City Stars this season.The former Kariobangi Sharks midfielder was on the scoresheet in Simba wa Nairobi’s 2-1 win over FC Talanta on Saturday that propelled them to third on the log.

I felt that there was a goal that I was denied, my header looked to have crossed the line before the keeper saved it but scoring as a defensive midfielder is always a good thing,” said Yidah. The 23-year-old hit the headlines across the world back in 2018 when he scored a penalty in Kariobangi Sharks win over Everton with his “injury” celebration that was recreated by footballers the world over.

If you look at our records we have been scoring in almost every game and therefore we had to step up. We have played in the NSL and beat them (Talanta) but a 2-0 scoreline is always dangerous and if you opponent scorers pressure always set in,” added Yidah.
