Levis Opiyo explains howler against Gor Mahia

AFC Leopards custodian Levis Opiyo had a rollercoaster game in the Mashemeji Derby defeat to arch-rivals Gor Mahia and has termed the clash the proverbial ‘bad day in office’.With Ingwe under the cosh, Opiyo crumbled as he delayed hooking the ball to safety as he allowed Sando Yangayay to pickpocket him and lay the ball to Austin Odhiambo who tapped home.Austin Odhiambo returns to haunt Ingwe as K’Ogalo lift Madaraka Day CupThe experienced custodian explained that the howler came about due to miscommunication with his backline as he noted that Gor Mahia struggled to create chances in the game.“The game was okay, we played well but we lost concentration a bit and that’s how it turned out to be. It was a bad day in the office, that’s all I can say because in the first half we played well.Gor did not have a clear-cut chance to score and in the end, there was a miscommunication and we gave them an easy goal but that is football,” said Levis.Opiyo made the switch from Gor Mahia to Ingwe before the start of the season after featuring sparingly for the record Kenyan champions during his stint at the club.The former Wazito FC showstopper added that he will take full responsibility for the goal he conceded and emphasized his commitment to the team.Austin and Ng’ang’a shine as Opiyo turns from hero to villain in Mashemeji Derby“A team should always be united, sometimes you take the blame and move on but I’ve played for a long time and there will always be criticism.I’ll take the criticism positively and move on.
