Mozzart Bet Cup: Zico puts behind league struggles, out to upset Tusker

KCB head coach Zedekiah Otieno is ready to put their recent league woes behind them and is focused on Saturday’s Mozzart Bet Cup tie against Tusker FC, which will be staged at the Police Sacco Stadium.The Bankers slipped further in the title race on Wednesday when they lost 1-0 to the Brewers at the Ruaraka Grounds, and the Saturday match is an opportunity for them to bounce back by seeing off Robert Matano’s side in the Mozzart Bet Cup quarterfinals.##NAJAVA_MECA_7209144##They remain underdogs in the tie, as KCB has not beaten Tusker since 2015. This season alone, the defending league champions have beaten the Bankers twice in the league, and the Saturday defeat presents a chance for a third win in a row or a first defeat in eight years for Otieno’s men.Ahead of the match, Zico, as he is famously known, has warned Matano’s men that they will be out to get the job done on Saturday, as they are not just there to participate but to win the title.”We entered the tournament to compete, not just to participate. We began our journey in the Mozzart Bet Cup in the round of 32 against MOFA and won 1-0. In the round of 16, we beat Bidco United 4-1 in a post-match penalty shootout. Now we face Tusker again in the tournament,” the former Kenyan international said.The Bankers have been dealt a major blow ahead of the major with captain Michael Mutinda, who picked up a season-ending injury on Wednesday. The midfielder suffered a nasty knee injury against Tusker on Wednesday in the dying minutes of the game and is likely to miss the remainder of the campaign.Mwalala picks positives from Bullets win ahead of Mozzart Bet Cup quarters
