St Joseph handed Shabana another 1-0 loss in an Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Premier League match at Afraha Stadium, yesterday.

After a barren first half, Peter Eshitemi scored for St Joseph in the 87th minute from the penalty spot.

Speaking after the match, Shabana coach James Nandwa blamed his players for failing to convert their chances.
"We had a number of chances but failed to convert. Demonde Selenga was very wasteful in front of goal," he said.

His counterpart Peter Njoroge admitted it was not an easy match but was grateful to have picked all three points at home.

"It was a hard match for us. Our opponents were difficult and we had to change strategy in the second half and it worked," he said.
