Kibera coach Badi chuffed by win over All Stars

Kibera Black Stars head coach Iddi Badi has praised his youthful squad after their hard-fought 1-0 victory over Kisumu All Stars in a crucial National Super League encounter at the weekend.

‎The decisive moment of the match came through Phoelix Mboya, who found the back of the net to hand Kibera all three points.

‎Speaking to Citizen Digital after the win, Badi expressed satisfaction with the performance of his young players, highlighting their determination and discipline throughout the match. He also singled out Mboya’s contribution, noting his excitement at seeing the forward return to the starting line-up and immediately make an impact.

‎'Mboya has not been starting, he has been coming in but you can see the potential in him. We focus on to the next and our goal still remains, we want to play in the Kenyan Premier League,” Badi said.

‎On his part, Mboya credited his coach for showing faith in him by offering a chance in the first team. The forward said the opportunity motivated him to deliver, and expressing his confidence in maintaining his scoring form.

He has already set his sights on the team’s next fixture against Talant FC, where he hopes to add to his goal collection.

‎'' It was a good game and the feeling is even better considering I scored the winning goal," he noted.

‎The victory proved significant for Kibera’s league ambitions, lifting them to seventh place with 39 points on the table.

‎Meanwhile, defeat left Kisumu struggling near the bottom, sitting in 17th place with 24 points as they continue their battle to climb out of the relegation zone.
