Sofapaka midfielder Elly Asieche believes Ulinzi Stars will be a hard nut to crack when the two sides clash in Match Day two of the Kenyan Premier League on Saturday at the Afraha Stadium in Nakuru. However, Asieche believes the team has the ability to go through the tie and get maximum points.

“It will not be easy because Ulinzi is a very tough team. But, we have trained well for the past two weeks, focused on our weak areas and also tried to gel as a team because we have very many new players,”

“Everything has worked well and now we are more cohesive and the unity in the team is coming up very well,” Asieche opined.

He has rallied his teammates to give in a good account and bounce back from the loss against Posta.

“It wasn’t the start we anticipated but we have to put that behind us and focus on the game on Saturday. It will be important for us to get three points because we can’t do the same mistakes we did last season by starting poorly,” he noted.
