Nairobi City Stars is an experienced team and to beat them comfortably was a statement from the boys, I am happy and very proud of my players,” he added.On conceding the late double, Owoko admitted that it was a concentration lapse that he is going to address.”There were lapses in the dying minutes of the game and we allowed them to score twice. It is something I have to address in training because we were fortunate that we had scored four goals, in some games such lapses can easily result in a defeat,” he added.On his part, Muyoti admitted that the better team carried the day.”We tried but I didn’t see a real effort from the players. We didn’t deserve to get anything out of the game, with games you look at the effort that the players put but today there was no effort and we did not deserve to get anything,” he said.Next for Wazito is another home match against Wazito FC. The rescheduled match will be played on Wednesday afternoon at the Bukhungu Stadium.Midas touch: In form Omala dispatches Posta Rangers with devastating brace
