Murang’a Seal FC head coach Abdallah Juma says the disputed opening goal against KCB FC played a significant role in his team losing 2-0 to the Bankers at St. Sebastian Park on Sunday afternoon.Goals from Haniff Wesonga and Patrick Otieno secured a valuable away win for KCB FC, propelling them to the top of the table with four points after their opening-day barren draw against the Kariobangi Sharks.##NAJAVA_MECA_8333873##The hosts were looking to build on their opening day 1-0 win over Ulinzi Stars, but Patrick Odhiambo’s men proved too strong for them.In his post-match review, Juma attributed the defeat to the contentious opening goal. A Haniff Wesonga header from a James Kinyanjui corner kick was ruled to have crossed the line despite the home team’s protests that they had cleared the ball off the line.”We played well, but I think the first goal, for which I do not have a clear picture of what transpired, cost us because it dented our morale,” he stated.##NAJAVA_MECA_8333662##Despite the setback, Juma remains confident about turning things around and is targeting points in their next two matches against the Kariobangi Sharks and Mara Sugar FC.”But all in all, it’s a league, and such things are bound to happen. We have matches against Sharks and Mara Sugar coming up, and I am confident that we will recover. We have a few injuries and made some mistakes, but I believe we will do well in the coming games,” he added.Zamalek coach Jose Gomes impressed by quality of Police PlayersThe veteran coach also discussed his team’s target for the season, saying they aim to achieve 50 points. With three points already in the bag, they are now targeting the remaining 47.”We have set a target of 50 points for the season, and we already have three. We need 47 more points, and we have to work hard to secure them. We will go back to the drawing board and strive to get things right in the next game against the Kariobangi Sharks.”Captain Peter Mwaura admitted that the team was disappointed with the defeat but promised the supporters that they would bounce back in their next game.”The game was not bad; we played well, although we made some small mistakes that cost us,” he said.”We had our chances, which we did not take, and we are not happy with this display.
