Onyego did well but his efforts could not preven Bristol from losing unfortunatey to Cardiff.
Harambee Stars defender Zak Vyner Onyego could not do much to prevent Bristol City from losing 1-0 at home to Cardiff City in an EFL Championship Clash that took place at Ashton Gate on Saturday.
Onyego registered four tackles and interceptions and made three clearances, showing he did his job when needed. He also won both his ground duels and registered an 87 percent pass accuracy.
Ultimately, it was not enough to prevent the Robins from losing their third league match in a row.
The much-anticipated match began cautiously, with both teams struggling to create scoring opportunities.
