Besides the draw, Player Askoe Lucas from Fortune Sacco had a different remark as he referred to the game as fair. “The game has not been very tough, though we needed a point,” he said.
At the stadium, there were many fans cheering APS Bomet, encouraging them to take a home win.
“We did not take a win this time, but in the next game, we promise our fans that we will win. This will come if we maintain our focus,” remarked Duke Muhoro.
