Former Wazito striker Derrick Otanga returned to haunt his former team as he grabbed a brace that ensured KCB inflicted more misery on Wazito FC after beating the Francis Kimanzi coached outfit 2-0 in an FKF Premier League match played on Friday afternoon at the Moi International Sports Center in Kasarani, Nairobi.Wazito are now yet to win in six matches and the gaffer believes its still a confidence issue that’s affecting the team.”We have been looking for the first win but it is not coming but I have a feeling that we are getting closer, we will have to keep working for it. It is always risky when chasing the game because you risk being beaten on the break and they got a goal through it. It is my work as a coach to instill confidence in the team and I will continue working on it.” Kimanzi said after the match.KCB tactician Zedekiah “Zico” Otieno admitted Wazito did not make it any easier for them to pick the maximum points.”We had a good game and I want to thank the players, they did a good job. We scored an early goal and Wazito came out guns blazing after that. We tried to play on the counter attack but we did not take those chances. However, it is important that we got the win. We will keep working on our finishing in training.” He said.FT: Wazito FC 0-2 KCB.
