They have six straight league triumphs this campaign and sit at the helm of the log.##NAJAVA_MECA_6923523##Fredrick Odhiambo opened the scoring in the 2nd minute before Deogratius Ojok drew his side level in the 15th minute. David Majak came off the bench to win it for Tusker in the 71st minute. But before the winning strike was scored, Vincent Ogola had a goal disallowed for offside, something Owoko feels was injustice meted on his side.”We were robbed of a clear goal by one of the assistant referees just before Tusker scored their winner. It was a clear goal that he opted to rule out under very unclear circumstances and he really hurt us. All the four goals scored in that game were clean but the assistant referee chose to rule out one of our goals and in the end, we lost a game that I believe we deserved to get something out of, ” he told Mozzart Sport.Overall, the tactician was content with his team’s display.”We played well, started the game with an early goal, and still played positively even after they got the equaliser and the winner. I have full confidence in this team, we have built a good side and in the coming games I am confident that we will do well,” he added.This was their second defeat in a row after losing their opening game of the season to Posta Rangers.
