Eymael: Keeper Shikalo kept Yanga SC in the game against Kagera Sugar

The Belgian tactician praises the Kenyan custodian after his heroics helped the Jangwani giants pick maximum points

Young Africans (Yanga SC) coach Luc Eymael has lauded custodian Farouk Shikalo for a solid display that helped his side beat Kagera Sugar 1-0 in a Mainland Premier League match played on Wednesday.

The former Bandari goalkeeper came into the match replacing Metacha Mnata and was the key player for the Jangwani Street-based giants as Ghanaian forward Bernard Morrison scored the all-important goal in the 79th minute to earn them maximum points.

The Belgian coach has now told Goal the Kenyan keeper was the best player for Yanga in the match as he made two vital point-blank saves to deny Kagera and keep his side in the game.
