Kariobangi Sharks head coach William Muluya has issued a rallying call to Shabana FC fans not to grow tired of watching their team in the top flight after going without a win in each of their first four league games.
Shabana lost 1-0 to Kariobangi Sharks in stoppage time through Geoffrey Onyango's goal, making it the fourth time this season that Tore Bobe have lost in stoppage time after they lost to fellow promoted side Murang’a Seal in similar circumstances in their first game of the season.

STARS ABROAD Bitter taste for Daniel Anyembe as Viborg fail to triumph against Silkeborg
The 24-year-old Harambee Stars right back had an impressive individual display, but he could not help Viborg prevent a third defeat in for matches
“I am happy with the contributions of my goalkeeper Jairo who worked very hard,” Muluya said. “This is because before we got a goal, they had created three or four chances which were open,” he added.
Muluya offered that Shabana need to work on staying focused for the whole duration of a match and keep their concentration levels up if they are to stand a chance of starting to get wins in the topflight.
“Sometimes, it is also about psychology because they have been conceding goals in the last minutes. When you see them getting exhausted, their concentration tends to go down but I think Shabana played very well against us.”
Muluya has praised Shabana’s fans for their unwavering faith in the team and asked them not to lose hope as the Kisii-based side lost quite by chance in his opinion.
