Ulinzi Stars coach Benjamin Nyangweso blames poor officiating after Sofapaka draw

Ulinzi Stars coach Benjamin Nyangweso has blamed the referee after his side registered a 0-0 draw against Sofapaka in Machakos on Wednesday.

Nyangweso, who was overseeing his fourth match in charge of the Soldiers since he was re-appointed, squarely blamed the second assistant referee for denying his team a clean penalty and a goal.

The coach was referring to the penalty appeal denied after Elvis Nandwa was tripped in the box by Faina Jacob and Oscar Wamalwa’s 5th-minute goal that was also disallowed for offside by the assistant referee.

Nyangweso also said that they should have pulled a win had Enosh Ochieng and Omar Mbongi been clinical with the chances they squandered.
