Tusker forward Erick Kapaito is relieved after opening his goal account at the club in style following his brace in their 3-2 win over Bidco United on Wednesday.Kapiato was understandably under pressure to get his first goal while in Tusker colours having joined the club before the start of the season from Ethiopia’s Arba Minch.For a player who managed more than twenty league goals in his last season in the Kenyan top flight before joining the Ethiopian club, a lot was expected of him.##NAJAVA_MECA_7738269##However, it took him fourteen rounds to score his first goal at the club and in the season and when he did it, a brace was a perfect reward for his patience and hard work.“It is a great feeling to score my first for the club and in the season. I have been working for it. The team had been supporting me as is the coach,” he told club media after their win over Bidco at St. Sebastian Park.Homeboyz youngster thrilled after first start for clubThe former league’s Most Valuable Player said the brace was a good starting point for his life at the brewery even as he aims to build on it and score more going forward.“It gives morale going to the next matches,” said the former FC Talanta forward.Imbusia optimistic about Homeboyz’s title chancesWith a trip to Nzoia up next for Tusker, Kapiato insists on the need to remain consistent and join the title race.Tusker have been staggering this season as the beer-makers are placed in the bottom half of the log, nine points behind log leaders and defending champions Gor Mahia.“We aim to scoop maximum points in our next game.
