The Slum Boys are still in relegation places with six matches to go.
Mathare United head coach Collins 'Korea' Omondi has attributed his side's performance against Bidco United on Sunday to the poor fitness levels of his players.
The Slum Boys succumbed to a 3-0 defeat in a Football Kenya Federation Premier League match played at Kasarani Annex thanks to Samuel Ndungu’s brace and a goal from Batts Awita.

FKFPL Bidco United close to guaranteed survival after demolishing Mathare United
The loss leaves Slum Boys stagnant at position 16 on the standings with just 22 points after 28 games.
In an interview with Pulse Sports, Korea said his side lacked match fitness, and it might need more time to get players to a level where he wants them to be.
“We played our worst game today. We lost concentration in the last five minutes of the first half and the last 20 minutes of the second stanza, which is an issue to do with fitness.
To be able to execute their actions and be consistent in playing the way we want, it seems it will take time, and at this stage, I can't sign new players," he said.

FKFPL Okumbi on why he turned down Mathare United's offer
Mathare United had appointed Okumbi as the club's new special technical advisor.
Mathare has not won any of their last seven matches, and Korea, who took over the team at the beginning of the month, remains optimistic that Mathare will avoid the chop.
“We need to come up with a solution in the remaining games, and that is we need to win every game so that we can remain afloat, and to do that, we must build up the players' physical strength.
“The time is concise since the fixtures are congested, but with some magic, we can do that,” he added.

FKFPL Omondi baptized with fire after Gor Mahia hit Mathare United
K’Ogalo have again picked up crucial points as they make strides towards wrestling the league title from Tusker.
The game against Bidco was Korea’s second loss in a row, losing his maiden match 2-1 to Gor Mahia.
