Gusii FC went four games without a win in the Football Kenya National Super League after succumbing to a 1-0 loss defeat at home to Mully Children’s Family on Monday.
Gusii are in three defeats and a draw since their win over leaders Shabana a month ago.
In Monday’s game, a dominant MCF took the lead in the 82nd minute through Joshua Ratemo after a goalmouth melee.
Gusii would have lost the game by a bigger margin but they will have their goalkeeper Meshack Monari to thank for making several crucial saves.
MCF coach David Mahira said he was targeting a point at Gusii Stadium but could not say no to maximum points.
“I’m happy with the three points. My game plan worked. At least the stadium was in good condition unlike on Sunday, when we played Shabana. We were the better side today and we deserved maximum points,” said the former Shabana player.
Meanwhile, Mahira said they have issues upfront and will sign two strikers before the transfer window closes.
“We have a big problem in finishing which we must address now. We also want to sign a defender,” he added.
Gusii coach Kassim Junior did not address journalists as he held a long crisis meeting with his players over the winless streak.
