KCB head coach Patrick Odhiambo was over the moon after the bankers beat Murang’a Seal 2-0 to storm the top four in the Kenyan Premier League on Sunday.
The Nairobi-based side sealed the crucial win at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos thanks to goals from Vincent Ondabu in the 78th and 83rd minutes.
Odhiambo’s exuberance was palpable as he lauded his squad and emphasised the importance of maintaining the momentum.
The experienced coach, who joined from Kakamega Homeboyz at the start of the season, said the victory rekindled their hopes of winning a first Premier League title.
“We are definitely back in the race. All we need to do now is to maintain our winning form to secure points that can propel us to our dreams,” he said.
The match unfolded as a thrilling spectacle, characterised by strategic plays and a sense of urgency.
It was in the second half that the narrative shifted dramatically.
Ondabu rose to the occasion with a performance that changed the tempo.
His goal, a precise finish that found the back of the net with surgical accuracy, sent waves of jubilation through the KCB camp.
Moments later, he doubled the tally, solidifying KCB’s dominance and effectively quelling any hopes of a Murang’a Seal comeback.
“This victory is a catalyst for renewed belief among the players. The prospect of clinching our first Premier League title is no longer a distant dream but a tangible goal within reach,” he said.
“KCB’s rise to the fourth spot in the league standings is a testament to our resilience and determination.”
