The gaffer maintains that Talanta will continue to fight on despite suffering defeat on Wednesday afternoon
In the period that many referees are vilified in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) for dubious and astonishing decisions, referee Andrew Opulu has been hailed by FC Talanta coach Ken Kenyatta for his sense of professionalism despite losing 1-0 to Nzoia Sugar on Wednesday afternoon.
Talanta could not hold their back together in the injury time to the end of the match, conceding a 91st minute goal in a match that was played away at Sudi Stadium.

FKFPL Talanta coach Ken Kenyatta laments 'wrong penalty' call suffered against Police
The coach reflects on Saturday's encounter against the Law Enforcers.
Speaking in a post-match interview after a hotly contested encounter that saw his side ending the game with ten men, Kenyatta said Opulu who was assisted by Arnold Kimutai and Timothy Oditi was fair, firm and in full control throughout the match.
“There is a slight improvement in terms of refereeing. Today the referee was fantastic and had the game under control,” Kenyatta said, insisting that his team’s defeat had nothing to do with lousy officiating but rather a bit of hard luck.
“ My players played very well throughout until they got that chance, and they used it wisely, and as you know, football is a game of chances, and when you utilize them, you carry the day.
I admit I have lost somewhat, and no one is to blame. I was reduced when Machika got a red card, and for now, to plan for our next game so that we can add to our points tally,” he concluded.
