Kenyan Premier League Champions Gor Mahia was on Wednesday held to a barren draw by Tusker in a thrilling match at the Kenyatta Stadium, Machakos.
The match left Gor Mahia coach Dylan Kerr a worried man after Ivorian striker Ephrem Guikan suffered an injury following a collision with Tusker goalkeeper Duncan Ochieng while attempting to get the ball.
The coach said that the team is to blame for missing out many chances to score during the match, which has since seen them drop two more points.
“We have to blame ourselves for the missed chances, this is something we practice every day in training but its African mentality of not taking things seriously,” lamented Kerr.
He also said that it was evident that the players were tired after playing three matches within a week. He further said that the trip to Equatorial Guinea made it tougher for the players but he acknowledged their effort.
“Again playing three games in a week is tedious, worse, after a 24-hour trip from Equatorial Guinea. Credit to the players anyway despite dropping two points,” he added.
Tusker’s coach also said that his side missed great chances to beat Gor Mahia during the match.
