“We were playing against a team which is in the relegation zone and they were determined to get a point from us as they are struggling to ensure that they play in the NSL next season,” said Shabana coach Gilbert Selebwa.
“All teams in this level are well prepared, however, we want to push and finish in the top 10 at the end of the season" added Selebwa.
His Thika counterpart Vincent Nyaberi rued the missed opportunities in the match.
“We were well prepared for this match and the worst we expected was a draw but it was not our day,” said Nyaberi, who is also a former Shabana player.
Shabana will host Administration Police while Thika United will welcome Eldoret Youth in their next matches.
