NSL: Kibera victory over Soy has Coach Juma purring

 Kibera Black Stars assistant coach Tom Juma, has hailed his side’s strong start to the second half of the season after securing a crucial victory 1-0 over Soy in the National Super League at the weekend.

‎ Juma expressed satisfaction with the team’s overall display, singling out debutants who rose to the occasion. Goalkeeper Evans Omondi earned special praise for his composure and assured performance between the posts.

‎"We are extremely happy, the win was nice because it came in extra time. They are young, talented boys with a bright future,” he said.

“They have been doing very well in training. They took the chance with both hands after we gave it to them,” he said.

‎The encounter was decided by a lone strike by Captain Donald Omwanda, whose well-timed header sealed the victory in extra time. Juma noted that the goal was a direct result of the work done in training, highlighting the importance of teamwork and tactical discipline.

‎"I am very excited because when you ate it, we got the goal from a set piece, exactly as we did in training and it paid off. We are encouraging teamwork and competition in the team. Ange is coming up, slowly by slowly, he will pick up, he is so important." Juma said.

‎The victory lifted Kibera Black Stars to eighth place on the standings with 30 points. However, they remain 10 points adrift of league leaders Migori Youth as the battle for promotion intensifies.

‎With renewed confidence and improved cohesion, Juma believes the team can build on this momentum as the NSL season progresses.
