Wazito FC were expected to give a good fight, if not win against Talanta FC in their Sunday’s Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) outing at Ruaraka Grounds.Unfortunately, the team’s long running winless streak persisted after they went down 2-0, with Talanta taking another crucial step towards securing their top flight status next season.Wazito went into the game against the backdrop of two impressive draws against Kariobangi Sharks and Police FC, and were buoyant as they sought to end a 16-match winless streak.Yet, according to head coach Charles Odera, despite a spirited fight, they were hard done by not only on the field issues, but also off the field troubles. AFC Leopards crisis ahead of midweek fixture against Talanta”We left Muhoroni for Nairobi on Sunday at 1AM EAT and reached at 9AM. We did not have enough time to rest,” the former APS Bomet FC coach revealed to Mozzart Sport. On the field, the former Chemelil Sugar FC player said that floppy defending cost them the first goal, while the second goal was as a result of a counter attack as they pressed forward for an equalizer. “To an extent we were let down by sloppy defending, especially the first goal, but these are things we are working to correct before our next game,” Odera said.Wazito’s next league outing will be at home against the season’s surprise package Nzoia Sugar FC at Muhoroni Stadium in a midweek fixture on Wednesday starting 1500 HRS.”Like all games, it’s not going to be easy. Nzoia Sugar are chasing the league and we expect to approach this game with the intention to win, but we’re ready for them,” Odera said.Nzoia Sugar’s weekend game against Bidco United ended in a barren draw. The team is placed third – seven points of leaders Gor Mahia.
