Posta Rangers head coach Zedekiah ‘Zico’ Otieno has expressed his disappointment with his players following their 2-1 defeat to 3K FC in a Kenyan Premier League encounter at Police Sacco Stadium on Monday afternoon.Otieno was particularly critical of his side's defensive performance, describing it as below par and questioning the costly errors that allowed the visitors to overturn an early second-half deficit and claim all three points.##NAJAVA_MECA_10077510##“The performance was below par. I do not expect the players to put in such a performance, especially when we are playing at home,” he said.Posta Rangers began the season with back-to-back defeats against Shabana FC (1-0) and Murang’a Seal (5-1) before responding with a 1-0 win over KCB FC and a goalless away draw with Bandari.After picking up a point on the road, Otieno hoped his side would build on it at home. However, two defensive lapses proved costly against the league debutants.“After playing away (to Bandari) and picking up a point, we needed to return home and at least get three points. However, conceding two goals from two very easy defensive mistakes, which are unacceptable at this level, is disappointing. If we keep making such mistakes at this level, there is no way we are going to win matches,” he added.Why South Africa-based Kenyan striker is backing Harambee Stars to shock Bafana BafanaPosta Rangers had taken the lead shortly after the restart through Mark Shaban, who produced a moment of individual brilliance to guide the ball into the far corner.However, 3K FC responded five minutes later when Newton Javan Njue picked out Cameroonian forward Yipoh Sally Ally, who calmly finished to restore parity in the 51st minute.The visitors completed the comeback when captain Daniel Wabwire rose highest to head home Victor Matete's delivery from a free-kick, beating goalkeeper Samuel Njau to put 3K ahead.FIFA throws spanner in works as Mariga’s planned FKF meeting is declared invalidThe victory marked 3K FC's first away win in their maiden FKF Premier League campaign and their second victory of the season.Nicodemus Omasete's charges climbed to fourth in the standings with eight points from five matches, bouncing back from their first defeat of the campaign against APS Bomet last Wednesday.Posta Rangers, meanwhile, suffered their third defeat in five matches and remain on four points.Akonnor pinpoints tactical flaws behind Gor Mahia’s first season defeat
