Coach Jackson Gatheru of Talanta Fc. secured a 3-0 win over visiting Mombasa United Fc.yesterday at the Dandora Stadium.
A stunning goal from industrious Cyprian Fuchaka gave Talanta Fc.the lead in the 46th minute of the game.A goal that materalised after a series of coordinated tiki-taka within the visitors box.
Mombasa United were quick to recover,pushing the homeside to the wall,but efforts alone was not enough,the equalising goal remained elusive.
Coach Peter Okidi,had to switch Jack Matete,who had been a thorn in the flesh of Talanta's left back,to the right.Allowing Fidel Omondi to take over.Coach Okidi made the switch to destabilize the defence.Jack's work rate and effort input is one most managers on this level are ever scouting for.
Talanta's pitch awareness was on form.The team seemed to know the pitch comfortably, though the visitors tried their best to play, were easy to adapt to the playing surface,the home team was at an advantage.
The introduction of experienced Nehemiah Onchiri was long overdue,as the Coastal side had resorted to laying back and defending.His presence revived the offensive, his aggressiveness and skills was amazing,enabling him to register the first convincing shot on target,a task many of his mates had failed to do against the towering Talanta duo of Peter Njamma and Steve-Aistin Otieno.
Talanta Fc' won the match,fair and square,but there was a visible gap in class between the teams.As Talanta was playing for the match,Mombasa United seems focused on continuity,hoping Coach Okidi embraces the ideals of his predecessor.
This is the second win in Talanta's five matches,having drawn against Mofa Fc. and MCF FC,a lose against Naivas FC.A win home win against Mwatate Fc. and now,the latest victims,Mombasa United.Coincidentally, winning against teams south of the city.
The future looks good on the CCA sponsored side.
