In yet another game that was marred by officiating drama, Bandari FC left it late to edge Bidco United 2-1 in a smash and grab victory that was staged at the Mbaraki Sports Club on Saturday 30 April.Kevin Kimani leveled things for Bandari after Emmanuel Mogaka had broken the deadlock with the former Sofapaka midfielder setting up Andrew Juma for the winner in the 91st minute.Bandari arrived into the clash fresh after having a fortnight break but collected three easy points last weekend after Mathare United handed them a walkover due to their dire financial situation.Tunauliza, huu mchezo usipomalizwa saa hii tutafuturu saa ngapi jamani? Haya twende nalo.90+7 | Bandari 2-1 Bidco United#BandariNiYetu— Bandari Football Club (@BandariOfficial) April 30, 2022 Bidco United were left disappointed following a 2-2 draw against relegation-threatened Vihiga Bullets last time out but the draw meant that they extended their unbeaten run to three.The Dockers had a bright start to the game with William Wadri and Umaru Kasumba troubling the Bidco defense line but Bandari could not convert the chances to goals as they lacked the cutting edge in front of goal.Bidco rarely threatened in the first half as both teams went into the halftime break locked in a barren draw under the sweltering heat of Mombasa.Anthony Akhulia had some stern words for his charges which was evident from the bright start they posted as they took seconds to break the deadlock through Emmanuel Mogaka whose audacious long-range effort was fumbled by Michael Wanyika as the ball bounced into the net.Bullets out to compound Posta’s misery as Bandari take on BidcoThe goal woke Bandari up from their slumber as they engaged the second gear in pursuit of the leveler but the Bidco defense line stood tall for everything that was thrown at them.The Dockers’ persistence finally paid off in the 65th minute when Francis Oduor brought down Umaru Kasumba inside the box who was through on goal but the referee failed to issue a red card with a yellow card flashed to the central defender.Kevin Kimani stepped up to take the penalty after about five minutes of protest from the Bidco players but the former Mathare United midfielder made no mistake as he nonchalantly slotted in the spot-kick.Romaaaaaaaa!!!
