Nairobi City Stars head coach Nicholas Muyoti has challenged Japanese striker Yuto Kusaba to draw confidence from his first league goal and score more in the remainder of the campaign.Kusaba had a moment to remember after opening his goal account in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League last weekend against Murang’a Seal at the Police Sacco Grounds.The attacker who came in the second half scored from twelve yards after Seal skipper Peter Mwaura fouled Newton Ochieng in the area.The well-taken penalty drew praise from Muyoti who asked the forward to build on it and bang in more goals.##NAJAVA_MECA_8038582##Kusaba joined City Stars in the off-season transfer window but couldn’t be deployed in the first leg due to administrative hitches.He obtained clearance in the mid-season transfer window and made his league bow against Shabana in February.“I am happy for him. He had been waiting for it and I think it will improve his confidence and his goal-scoring instincts,” said the tactician.Kusaba scores debut goal as City Stars drown SealBefore Kusaba found the back of the net, his teammates Dennis Oalo and Mohamed Bajaber had given City Stars a two-goal advantage earlier in the second half.Muyoti revealed that the halftime pep talk and changes made the difference in the tie that ended in a barren draw at halftime.McKinstry hopeful of full stadium in Mashemeji DerbyDefensive midfielder Clifford Ouma paved the way for Brian Mzee in one of the changes Muyoti made before restart.“We didn’t play well in the first and had to do something at half time. We rung changes and changed the approach. We played long balls in the first half but had to resort to build-ups and short passes. We ended up creating chances and opening up the Seal defence,” he explained.
