His other strike came early in the season against the AFC Leopards. Coincidentally, it was also a winner with a similar scoreline.His season has largely been hampered by injuries, and in an interview with the club media, the player expressed his happiness at returning to the scoresheet.”It feels good to be back on the scoring sheet, and I am happy because it helped us get the three points,” he stated.Eric Mmata gives Tusker the lead.

He is however having a consistent run of games and has featured in the last three. Ahead of Sunday’s clash against FC Talanta, he is keen on finding the back of the net again.”It has been a long time since I last scored a goal, largely due to injuries, but now that I am back, I am hoping to get that consistent run. I have played three games since I returned, and it gives me confidence heading into our next game against Talanta on Sunday, and I hope to continue with the same run and help the team get a win in that game,” he added.The win, coupled with Gor Mahia’s draw with Nzoia, reduced the gap between the Brewers and the league leaders to one point; Tusker have a game in hand that, if they win, will reduce the gap to one point, and the striker believes that it is just a matter of time before they regain the top spot.”We will be back at the top soon. I believe that if we win our next five games, we will regain the top spot,” he added.K’Ogalo boss left disappointed after dropping crucial two points against Nzoia Sugar
