Tusker left back Levin Odhiambo backs team to catch up with Gor, win title

Tusker wingback Levin Odhiambo insists that the Football Kenya Federation Premier League title is still within their reach, despite trailing log leaders Gor Mahia by nine points.The brewers had a nightmarish start in the campaign but appeared to have found their footing before the Christmas break as the Robert Matano-coached side had won three matches in a row.The wins over Bidco United, Nzoia Sugar, and Kenya Police lifted the beer makers from the bottom half of the log to nine points closer to the top spot.##NAJAVA_MECA_7773175##The purple patch is one that left Odhiambo convinced that they will catch up with Gor and probably recreate last season’s title race scenario, where the winner was decided on the last day.Gor dethroned Tusker last season by the barest of margins, as a point was enough to get them over the line at the expense of the Ruaraka-based club.Tusker defender opens up on experience gained in SwedenMuch as Gor are unbeaten so far in the season and are enjoying a five-point cushion at the top, Odhiamho believes that Tusker has a chance just like any other team with the ambition of landing the title.“We are firmly in the race. If we remain focused, then it is possible,” said the player who joined Tusker in February from Mathare United.Odhiambo, who predominantly plays as a left-back, further said time was on their side as the first leg of the season is not over yet.Mathare United legend Edgar ‘Fighter’ Ochieng optimistic of club’s return to ‘table of men’Teams will wrap up their first-leg matches this weekend, with Tusker facing fellow title hopefuls, KCB, at the Police Pavilion.“We have a whole second leg to right the wrongs we made in the first half of the season. If we have the spirit we have shown in our last three matches, we will attain our objective,” added the former Wazito player.
