He in fact says it is a blessing in disguise.” There’s no pressure on our side because it is still too early in the season. It (losing) was bound to happen at some point and it is good that it has come very early in the season and so we can still bounce back and work on the matches ahead. We will go back and reflect, pick positives, work on our mistakes and hopefully pick maximum points in our next game, ” he concluded.Up next for Tusker is a home match against second-placed Nzoia Sugar FC.Bandari stun Tusker as Sofapaka pile more misery on Mathare
