The fighting spirit from the players has, however, given us yet another victory and at this point in the season, victory matters more,” Nyamunyamu told Mozzart Sport after the match.This is Vihiga Queens’ eighth win of the season in 12 matches, keeping their unbeaten run going. Coach Nyamunyamu admits the only way to stay in the chase for yet another title is to win all their remaining matches.“From here on, the target is to not drop any points as that would guarantee us victory at the end of the season. We started the second leg with a draw against Ulinzi Starlets, a performance that saw us drop to second place. Old boys Okello, Muguna shutter Gor Mahia’s unbeaten runWe have, however, emphasized the importance of being mentally tough and the players are taking everything positively and it is reflecting well on how we are playing. The league, close as it is could easily come down to the team that remains focused and that is what we are aiming for,” the tactician added.Vihiga are set to face off with in-form Kenya Police Bullets in their next league match with coach Nyamunyamu admitting that could easily be the title decider.“We approach that match as we would any other, targeting maximum points,” Nyamunyamu maintains. “What will separate us from bullets is consistency and we cannot achieve that without remaining focused on the end goal and grounded in our run to lifting the title.” ##NAJAVA_MECA_7845160##
