Barasa praises Muranga Seal after narrow win

Bandari coach John Barasa has paid a glowing tribute to their Sunday opponents, Muranga Seal after the Dockers squeezed out a 3-2 win away.Speaking after the match, Barasa admitted that their opponents gave a good account of themselves and should have gotten more from the game.##NAJAVA_MECA_7845573##He predicted that Muranga Seal would soon get back to the top if they continue putting in the same effort they have been exerting.“They played so well, and if they continue this way, they will get the results they had when the league just started. My encouragement to them is that it is not easy to compete in this league, but if they keep on fighting, they will start seeing good results,” he said.On two occasions, Bandari had to come back and equalize after their opponents had gone ahead.Titus Kapchanga put Muranga Seal ahead early in the first half, but Umar Kasumba cancelled the goal almost immediately.Peter Mwaura restored the home team’s lead midway through the second half before Francis Kahiro once again got Bandari back into the match before Hamisi Mwaphalu ensured the Dockers picked up all three points to move to third spot on the log with 34 points.Bandari’s next match will be at home on Saturday against Nairobi City Stars, and Barasa has admitted that it is going to be yet another tough match.City Stars won the first leg in Nairobi. “City Stars is another side that is enjoying good form, and we expect a tough match despite being at home. We hope our home-ground advantage can make a difference and give us a good result.”The dockers were eliminated from the Mozzartbet Cup after losing 1-0 to Bungoma Stars, and winning the league remains the only opportunity for silverware for them.With 34 points, they are nine points adrift of leaders Gor Mahia, who themselves lost 3-1 to Kenya Police on Saturday.FKFPL Week 20 Preview: Gor Mahia unblemished run halted as Leopards carry on with good run
