Tusker FC will be Kenya’s representative in the CAF Champions League next season after topping the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKF PL) table by June 30.By the deadline, the brewers had scored a total of 39 goals more than any other team and at the same time,managed remain compact in their rear.Only the trio of KCB, Ulinzi Stars, and AFC Leopards have conceded fewer goals than the CAF CL-bound team . The three have let in fourteen, fifteen and seventeen goals respectively while Tusker have conceded 18, same as returnees Nairobi City Stars.Partly, their success has been pegged on the fact that they have had diverse goal scorers across board in the previous rounds.🗣️| The work is not finished yet, says coach Matano🔗| https://t.co/RoztX2FeKP pic.twitter.com/QLA1tiFY0t— Tusker FC (@tusker_fc) July 2, 2021 Unlike majority of the other teams in the league who have been over reliant in one or two of their centre forwards for goals, Tusker have had different players finding the back of the net when they were needed to most.Tusker’s 39 goals are well distributed across fourteen of their players across all outfield dockets.Almost all outfield players have netted at least once, with notable contributions in the defence line. A back four of Kevin Monyi, Sammy Meja, Eugene Asike, and Rodgers Aloro have all scored for Tusker at some point.Jackson Macharia, Humphrey Mieno, Brian Marita, Luke Namanda, and Kevin Okoth are midfielders who have scored.😝| Good morning brewers. pic.twitter.com/gGK16zTB8V— Tusker FC (@tusker_fc) July 1, 2021 Though they do not have goals to their names, Hashim Sempala and Apollo Otieno have been critical in the middle of the park, injecting and killing pace as required. The Henry Meja show has been Tusker’s highlight of the season so far, perhaps, with the teenager banging in goals at will. And when he couldn’t, Chrispinus Onyango, Chrispin Ochieng and Boniface Muchiri have been up to the task.
