Katasi ceded possession to Osoro in his 18-yard area before the forward wheeled all the way to the goal line, where he used his behind to force the ball in. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8867607##The manner in which the former Nzoia Sugar man scored marked the end of the disastrous afternoon for the goalkeeper, as he was shortly replaced by Abubakar Musha. The schoolboy error procured condemnation, insults, and all manner of accusations towards Katasi, who fought tears while leaving the pitch for the substitutes’ bench. Since then, the former national U20 goalkeeper has evaded the public eye and dodged any media engagement, and understandably so, as the error is still a subject of debate in football circles.

We let them down. They were right to react in the manner in which they did. It was not easy for me after the game, as insults and threats were directed my way. Luckily, I am not on social media. I had to ask my friends not to share the insults and threats from social media users on my WhatsApp,” he opened up.
