The youngster netted his first goal for the club in a flamboyant version, getting on the end of a Humphrey Mieno pass before slotting home past Gabriel Andika’s net.
Tusker FC’s teenage midfielder, David Odoyo has praised his teammates’ hard work and commitment in their 2-0 win over KCB in the FKF Cup quarter final played at the Police Sacco Stadium in South C on Saturday.
Odoyo netted his first goal for the club in a flamboyant version, getting on the end of a Humphrey Mieno pass before slotting home past Gabriel Andika’s net.
"I feel good to score my first goal for the club this season,” he said, “I just picked my spot after seeing the keeper's positioning and then went for the jugular.
Everyone worked hard and was determined to win this game today. I am so proud of my teammates today.”
The teenager was also quick to praise the team for heeding Robert Matano’s tactical instructions.
“Our game plan was to keep shape and contain their midfield. When we won the ball, we were to hit them on the counter attack and kill them and it worked.”
Like his gaffer, Odoyo believes that the Brewers can win the title this season.
