Addressing the press after the Brewers regained the league’s lead with a 2-0 win over Wazito FC at Ruaraka Grounds on Wednesday, Matano said that all teams cannot play the same way.”I don’t see how a team can string twenty passes and score if they’re playing outdated football,” the Lion, as he’s nicknamed, probed.Tusker’s second goal was a beauty delivered against a run of passes that culminated in Luvanda Lawrence scoring on the first touch. The opener was equally well worked, a free header by Erick Otieno from an inviting cross from Luvanda.
