Striker Hansel Ochieng revelled in his goal ten minutes from time that earned Sofapaka a hard-fought 2-1 win over Wazito.
Ochieng expressed delight in opening his goal-scoring account for the club and Batoto Ba Mungu’s third win on the bounce.
“It is definitely a good feeling for me because the goal earned the team the maximum points. Importantly, I am happy because it has been a while being on the score sheet,” Hansel said on the club’s official portal.
The versatile forward added: “It was a tough game especially facing a strong opponent in Wazito. They gave us a good encounter. Nevertheless, I am glad we had a strong mentality. We had set a target and it was important for us to win.”
Ken Odhiambo’s charges have blown hot and cold since the season started by the enforced three-week break seems to have worked a treat for the 2009 KPL champions.
“We did not have the best start but since our game against Leopards, we have been able to win our matches. Wednesday’s victory has increased our confidence levels and I believe it is the start of many more to come.”
Ochieng concluded that team cohesion is a key factor to improved results.
“Winning entails every little detail and for us, I believe it has been the team cohesion. We have been patient and it is finally paying off for us. If we continue with the same spirit, then we shall have a successful season,” he said. Sofapaka are placed 8th in the FKF-PL with 13 points four adrift of leaders Gor Mahia. They take on champions Tusker on Sunday.
