Sofapaka, Ulinzi slam officiating after midweek draws

Following their stalemates against Kakamega Homeboyz and Tusker FC on Wednesday, Sofapaka head coach David Ouma and Ulinzi Stars assistant coach Abdalla ‘Dalo’ Mohammed have lambasted officiating in their respective games.Batoto ba Mungu came from a goal behind against Homeboyz to pluck a point when Ambrose Sifuna canceled out Ali Bahi’s goal in the second half.Gor Mahia seeking to continue dominance over TalantaUlinzi on the other hand registered their third draw in four games after settling for a barren stalemate against Tusker FC who have now won only one game in the last five.Ouma was livid after the referee waved play on when Bhai went past Samuel Olwande to score for Homeboyz as he expected the referee to blow for a foul.“You could see my last defender being roughed by the Homeboyz striker and the referee played on, he was supposed to give a foul then we conceded from an infringement and I had to chase the game.##NAJAVA_MECA_6971197##My equalizer today was not even for us as a team but it was for football, we continue building on and I’m happy with the way we are containing the opponent and how we get the spaces,” said Ouma.Tusker were lucky when Brian Bwire was not sent off despite committing a last man foul against Hillary Simiyu in the first half. In the second period, the Soldiers had their penalty shouts waved away when Boniface Muchiri looked to have been fouled.Abdalla Mohammed was equally less impressed about officiating in the clash against Tusker as he opened up on some of the calls he felt were contentious.Southampton join the race for 18-year-old Kenyan midfielder”I can’t talk much but our referees are really letting us down because there are other obvious things but the referee is only giving one team an advantage, the goalkeeper was the last man and when the last man commits a foul it becomes a red card.The referee had a positive mind to have Tusker win the match, but the good thing is there is a God but I was not happy with the game today,” said Mohammed.
