Coupled with individual mistakes, that is why we are where we are,” said Nyamungamu.Despite the disappointing results, the experienced tactician remains optimistic about the team’s prospects, pointing to the players’ willingness to learn and their positive response to instructions.“The good thing is that they are young, eager to learn and take instructions positively.

They were very solid and compact in the first half, especially in midfield, and limited us to wing play, where we dominated.The changes made in the second half made us control the midfield, influence the game more and scored,” said Okallo.3K FC head coach hails secret weapon in attack after draw against BandariDespite the victory, the American-trained coach acknowledged that his team still had work to do in the final third, particularly in improving their passing accuracy and finishing.“Despite the win, we lacked precise passes in the final third.

It is an area we must improve on as the season goes by,” he noted.The victory provided much-needed relief for the reigning FKF Cup champions, who returned to winning ways after suffering a heavy 6-1 defeat to Ulinzi Starlets in their previous match.
