Police FC Seal Three Points in FKF Midweek Fixture
Police FC secured three points in the FKF premier league smashing Batoto Ba Mungu Sofapaka 3-0 at the Police Sacco Stadium. The police team put on a commanding performance from the start of the game, scoring their first goal in the 10th minute. Sofapaka tried to mount a comeback, but the police defence was too strong for them to break through. The police team added two more goals in the second half to seal their victory.
Police FC saw them push themselves to fifth position with 53 points after playing 29 matches while 19 times champions Gor Mahia are leading with 63 points having played the same number of matches.
According to Sofapaka head coach David Ouma, poor defending led to them losing against Police FC.
“For me, I think we had a good momentum from last week match against Vihiga Bullets as well as Kariobangi sharks, so I think my situation was conceding goal from our opponents from the very moment of our first goal” said Ouma
“We had chances to equalize this game, but I think we were a little bit unfortunate not to make the goals, we had the possibilities but Police FC capitalized on our mistakes and won”. Added Ouma
The loss now puts Ouma's side in 12th position with 34 points in 29 matches.
