Ten-man Nzoia Sugar hold Bandari in a four-goal thrillerAsked what he did to ensure they picked a point after losing to Bandari, Babu blamed the loss a fortnight ago on the referee’s calls. “In the last game the referee confused both teams, he gave them a penalty in the 40th minute and also gave us a penalty in the 90th minute which was tough for both teams,” added Babu.
