The club lost three starters to rival teams: Bryne Omondi and Francis Kahiro moved to Bandari, while Apollo Otieno ventured abroad to join Dodoma Jiji in Tanzania.Despite suffering another setback on Sunday, the former Nzoia Sugar FC, Bandari, Kakamega Homeboyz, and Ulinzi Stars coach acknowledged that his team performed well against Robert Matano’s side but was unfortunate to leave Machakos empty-handed.”We showcased our abilities admirably during the match, but luck wasn’t on our side. It’s worth noting that Tusker has been on a fairly good run in recent months, making them formidable opponents at their peak this season,” remarked Mwalala.Mwalala further highlighted that they squandered easy chances that could have secured them the victory and emphasized the need for his team to enhance their attacking prowess.”I observed that our attacking play requires refinement to ensure precision in front of the goal. Had we capitalized on the scoring chances we generated, the outcome might have favored us,” he emphasized.Pamzo terms first five matches at Shabana tough, remains optimistic of turnaroundNext for KCB is a home match against Murang’a Seal FC.
