We have to know what to do and how to do it, you could see it in the Elite Cup final, we won balls but we could not take control of the ball in Police’s final third,” said Muyoti. ##NAJAVA_MECA_6706197##City Stars finished runners-up in the just concluded Elite Preseason Cup after losing the final 2-0 to Kenya Police FC courtesy of goals from Marvin Nabwire and David Simiyu.
