The Thika-based side lost the clash at Kasarani Annex on Sunday afternoon.
Bidco United head coach Anthony Akhulia has revealed why his side suffered their sixth defeat of the season to Bandari FC in a Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) match on Sunday.
The Mombasa-based side registered their fourth win against Bidco in seven attempts courtesy of Rodgers Aloro's goal in the game's closing stages at the Kasarani Annex.

Tusker kept their dream of retaining the league alive with a slim win over Police FC.
In a post-match interview, Akhulia said they did not deserve to lose, adding an individual mistake handed Bandari the winning goal, which made the difference in the match.
"The team played well, but again an individual mistake cost us. Statistically, we were superior to our opponents, but they got a set piece which they converted after the ball slipped off the hands of the goalkeeper to the back of the net.
And those are some things you cannot understand in the football game. We had so many opportunities, and we failed to utilize them. This is a loss that I did not expect," he said.
On whether they have thrown in the towel in their quest to finish in the top ten positions in the league, Akhulia said, "Players have to motivate themselves, and they should know that this is their job, and they should work hard and keep it.

Our gap between the top teams and us is not so wide, and thus we just need to keep winning our games and be where we want to be at the end of the season."

They are scheduled to face Sofapaka on Saturday, April 22, at Kasarani Annex.
