Seven games to the end of the season and a ten-point gap between them and the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) leaders Gor Mahia, KCB FC coach Zedekiah “Zico” Otieno is adamant they’re still in the race for the title.”Do not write us off just yet. No team is going to win all the remaining seven games,” the former Gor Mahia coach told Mozzart Sport.##NAJAVA_MECA_7208831##While laboring to explain what miracle will happen for them to catch up with the leading pack, the former defender admitted that losing to Tusker FC 1-0 on Wednesday seriously dented their title credentials.”It was a big bow,” Zico conceded, but was quick to add that nobody knows who’s going to win the title. “Can you honestly tell?” He posed.With just two points separating Gor Mahia and Tusker FC, their closest challengers, it’s still hard to tell who will clinch the title, but for KCB, they have a bigger mountain to climb to get back in contention.Zico blamed a profligate attack for the Wednesday loss: “We played better and created more scoring chances, but we couldn’t convert them.”He defended his tenure at the helm of the Bankers, stating that, despite not winning the title, he has transformed the club from league survivors to contenders.Tusker FC 1-0 KCB highlights#FutaFiti#footballKE pic.twitter.com/aPa2rsbO74— NewsheriffUtd🔴 (@NewsheriffUtd) April 27, 2023 “Can you compare the KCB of three years ago to the one we have now?” He posed again: “We’re now title contenders and not just fighting to remain in the league. That alone is an achievement.”Zico will have a chance to exact revenge against Robert Matano’s Tusker FC when the two sides clash again on Saturday, but this time in the Mozzart Bet Cup.With the league title uncertain for the two sides, the Cup offers them an alternative route to continental football, and fireworks can be expected when they face off.Mozzart Bet Cup: Matano out to get another win over KCB
