John Baraza: Sofapaka committed silly mistakes against Kariobangi Sharks

The two-time Shield champions failed to down the hungry Sharks, and went on to lose the match 3-2. Kevin Kimani had a chance to make things even with five minutes to go from the penalty spot, but he directed his effort over the bar.

The tactician has conceded the team had many issues that cost the team. ‘We made silly, silly mistakes that cost us especially in defense. We gave them easy goals and did not fight back as we usually do. All the goals we conceded happened through defensive mistakes.
