Mathare United’s defender George “Wise” Owino denied his coach a perfect birthday gift after he deflected into his own net in for a 1-1 draw against Tusker in a Kenyan Premier League match yesterday in Ruaraka.
The visitors grabbed the lead in the 20th minute through Eric Johanna’s brilliant strike after he received a fine pass from Daniel Mwaura, setting up what would have been a good chance to pop the champagne for Mathare’s head coach, Stanley Okumbi.
