Akhulia has berated his charges for assuming “it would be easy” facing a struggling side, as they were made to pay for being complacent.
Bidco United head coach Anthony Akhulia has berated his charges for underestimating Kenya Police FC following the 2-0 loss in an FKFPL match played at the Police Sacco Stadium in South C on Saturday.
Goals by Kenneth Muguna and Clinton Kinanga were enough to give the Law Enforcers all three points at Bidco’s expense, which was a relief as they won their first league game under new incumbent Zvadko Logarusic, who had been appointed new coach less than 48 hours earlier.

FKFPL Bidco coach Anthony Akhulia berates own charges following season’s first loss to Kenya Police
Speaking after the match, Akhulia cannibalised his midfield for not being imaginative and creative enough, saying they “struggled” all game.
“I think it is psychological. When you see a team struggling, you assume that you will just turn up and take advantage but I think the Police knew this and they were prepared for us,” Akhulia said after the match.
“Considering they also have a new coach, they have a point to prove, so I think everything worked (well) for them because they were so comfortable and we struggled a lot.
