Wazito FC were gifted a goal against Mathare United - Salim Ali

An agitated Slum Boys coach hits out at the match officials for gifting the big-spending side a goal in the first half of their battle

Mathare United coach Salim Ali has hit out at poor officiating after his side threw away the lead twice to settle for a 2-2 draw with Wazito FC in a Kenyan Premier League (KPL) match on Saturday.

Against the run of play, the Slum Boys took the lead in the 27th minute through Bernard Ochieng’s unfortunate own goal. Goalkeeper Steve Njunge had done well to save an initial effort from John Mwangi but the ball came off Wazito’s captain into the back of the net.
