Sofapaka's Divalvo Alves reveals the reason behind Cercidy Okeyo's substitution

Sofapaka head coach Divalvo Alves has revealed midfielder Cercidy Okeyo was substituted against Bandari due to an injury.

The midfielder played a starring role during Batoto ba Mungu's 2-1 win against the Dockers, providing an assist from which Peter Lwassa scored from. However, with about 10 minutes left, the former Gor Mahia player was taken off for Ronald Okoth.

"[Cercidy] played well against Bandari despite just making a return from an injury," Alves told Goal on Tuesday.

"Despite not being fully fit, [Cercidy] did well, he was fantastic, his effort was terrific, and he ended up creating a goal for us.
