Sofapaka head coach John Baraza states he did not expect to see Balaji FC play an open game against his charges in the FKF Shield Cup.
After a goalless draw in regular time, Batoto ba Mungu won the shootout 5-4 to advance to the Round of 16. The former Kenya international says the third-tier side was determined to get into the next round from the way they were playing and their consistency throughout the game.
"[The match] was a tight one; I never expected it from Balaji, it was a great game," Baraza told Goal.
