Olympic and Dagoretti seem to have better teams— Jeff Kinyanjui (@_JeffKinyanjui) August 26, 2022 Despite the draw, Upper Hill’s man on the touchline, Posta Rangers’ forward Cavin Odongo remains optimistic that they will sail through to the quarters, provided they win their remaining group match with a big margin.”The game was good. We had our chances and scored. But we were a bit shaky defending and that is why we conceded.
