Poor officiating in KPL demoralizing - Mathare United's Ali

Mathare United head coach Salim Ali has blasted the officials who oversaw their match against KCB FC at Kasarani on January 4.

United drew 1-1 against the Bankers in a rescheduled Kenyan Premier League (KPL) tie. James Kinyanjui scored for the Slum Boys before Enock Agwanda equalized for KCB in the second half from the spot-kick.

Ali has categorically stated the penalty was wrongfully awarded.

“We played really well against KCB, had the games better chances and dominated play more. Our game plan worked but it is just sad the game was ruined by the officiating on display,” Ali told the club's portal.
