“I told my players posses the ball so that they can find space to execute their game,”
This finally paid off in the 31st minute by Helena Chebet from a tiki-taka move in the D and got the goal past the Sliders goalie.
Sliders got a chance with 7 minutes to the end of the 3rd quarter when Esther Wacuka hit the ball from defense to Maurine Mumbi upfront but failed to go past Blazers goalie Cynthia Onyango.
