Published on September 7, 2019, Northern Super League newcomers Northern Wanderers continued their struggles with a 2-1 loss to Fortune Sacco at the General Kassam Njogu Stadium in Kianyaga on Saturday.
Fortune Sacco's Babu Kisayi and Dennis Kariuki gave the hosts a 2-0 lead heading into the breather, while Albert Lodang scored Wanderers' consolation in the second half.
Despite the loss, team manager Noordin Tabe expressed optimism about the team's performance, citing the need for time to build a cohesive unit.
"We are playing against teams that have good chemistry and combination since the players have been together as a unit for a while on our end we started from scratch and are trying to build a team. I have seen a lot of positive improvement and it is just a matter of time before we get the elusive win," Tabe told Nation Sport.
Meanwhile, at the Karuturi Stadium, Nairobi Stima outlasted Kenya Police 2-1. Victor Ochami gave Stima the lead in the 61st minute, but Police equalised from the spot through David Oluoch. Caleb Olilo won it for Stima with a well-taken penalty in the 79th minute.
"It was a tough match but we managed to get the three points which is very important for us. The only negative thing is we lost two more players to injury in the match, but we hope they will recover before the next assignment," Stima coach Leonard Odipo said after the match.
