City Stars coach Alagic bullish as charges maintain impressive NSL run

Nairobi City Stars tactician Sanjin Alagic has lauded his boys for their fighting spirit and push to win the matches as the Kawangare based outfit maintained their winning momentum in the National Super League (NSL) on Friday.

A second half goal from goal machine Antony ‘Muki’ Kimani was enough to keep City Stars on top of the log with 22 points after eight rounds of matches.

They are six points ahead of second placed Bidco who are on 16.

Speaking to Citizen Digital, Alagic lauded his boys for the hard fought 1-0 victory adding that they deserved to win.

“At the end we walked away with very important 3 points, the players showed good character to push for victory in the dying minutes. I’m really proud of them,” he said.

The lower league having produced no player in the national team Harambee Stars had its calendar run as usual with all the 18t eams being in action in a week where international football dominated.

Stars were in action  at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani where they lost 0-1 to visiting Mozambique.

Meanwhile in the NSL, debutants Northern Wanderers once again ended the weekend with no point after suffering another defeat, losing 2-0 at the hands of Modern Coast Rangers.

Elsewhere Vihiga Bullets and Shabana shared the spoils at the Bukhungu Stadium in a barren stalemate.

Action resumes this Wednesday with nine matches scheduled across different venues in the country. League leaders City Stars will play their neighbours power house Nairobi Stima.
