Shabana FC Player Ratings vs Kakamega Homeboyz (1-0)

Simple, honest, no favors. If you were good, we say. If you survived, we say too.

Stephen “TJM” – 8.5/10

Clean sheet owner. That save around 80 minutes? That’s match-winning. Didn’t have 20 saves, but had the one that mattered. Calm when it got ugly.

Backline + Captain

Mark – 7/10
Quiet shift. No drama, no mistakes. Did his job and went home.

Mazembe – 7/10
Solid before the injury. Won duels, looked strong. Game changed when he went off. Hope he’s okay.

Munika – 7.5/10
Steady. Read the game well when pressure came. Cleared danger without panicking.

George “Dizzo” (C) – 8/10
Captain’s game. Took a knock early but stayed in it. Organized, talked, fought. When things got tense, he was the one calming it down.

Midfield Engine

Byron – 6.5/10
Worked hard, kept things moving. Not flashy, but needed in a game like this.

Brian Michira – 7/10
You saw him in those duels. Got stuck in, kept the midfield alive. Proper battle performance.

Kevin Omundi – 6.5/10
Decent shift before coming off. Kept possession simple today.

Attack

Mambote Assis – 8.5/10
Goal scorer. Game changer. That finish in the 30th minute? That’s why he plays. Hit the woodwork early too. Always asking questions.

Derrick (starter) – 6.5/10
Ran, pressed, tried. Didn’t get the big moment but kept defenders busy.

Danson – 6/10
Quiet. Not much involvement, but stayed disciplined.

Kiprono – 6.5/10
Should have scored early. Big chance, just wide. Still a threat though.

Substitutes

Austine Odongo – 6.5/10
Came in, did the basics right. Helped settle things.

Brian Bett – 6.5/10
Energy legs. Closed spaces when Homeboyz pushed.

BronSon Nsubuga – 6.5/10
Physical presence. Helped us not get bullied late on.

Sniper Derrick Oketch – 7/10
Almost hero, almost heartbreak. That late chance could have killed the game. Lively impact though.
