Speaking after the win, City Stars coach Nicholas Muyoti said he was impressed with how his team played and for him the only way is looking forward as the league braces for a final sprint to the end of the season.
“We had a very good first half where we created a lot of chances. The second half was even much better. We played well defensively and going forward we just need to create more chances and I think we will be good to go,” he said.
