“I have lost the match.I am not in a mood to be questioned too much so please, take care as a journalist,” Njoroge told the journalist.
Speaking after the match, Matano bullishly dared his rivals to write the side off at their own peril, insisting that they have come back from adversity a ton of times before.
"We have only played 12 matches and we have a game in hand, therefore, it would be a big mistake to write us off," Matano remarked.
