Nairobi City Stars midfielder Clifford Ouma is craving to score his first league goal this year after failing to blast open his account last season and the first leg of the current one.Despite being more than a season old in the competition, the fast-rising midfielder has yet to deposit anything in his goal account.##NAJAVA_MECA_7774294##Ouma, whose primary role is to shield the defense and carry the ball forward, is, however, determined to make a difference this year.The former Migori Youth player who claimed the assist in their 1-0 win over Kakamega Homeboyz last month said the time was ripe for him to celebrate his first goal in the top flight.”I hope to get my name on the score sheet in the second leg. It is always a great feeling when you intercept, make a successful tackle, and win possession. I want to experience the euphoria that comes with scoring goals,” he said.Ouma, who is satisfied with his performance in the season, credited his hard work for his quick turnaround from an impact player to a key player.Kalekwa terms Zico as right man for Sofapaka jobThe midfielder struggled for playing time in the initial stages of the season but worked his way back to the first team.Ouma, who joined the City Stars in 2022 from the second-tier club, was a strong pillar last season to the extent that KCB expressed interest in his services.He, however, found it tough in the opening rounds of the season thanks to the competition offered by Brian Mzee.”Reality hit me hard when I found myself warming the bench earlier in the term. I doubled my efforts, and I am glad it is paying off,” he stated.Meanwhile, Ouma insisted that Simba Wa Nairobi had the potential to challenge for the league title successfully.The City Stars are the most dangerous team in the league currently, as the team has won its last five matches, placing fifth with 27 points, seven off-log leaders Gor Mahia.All set for Cabinet Secretary exhibition games in Busia
