Mathare United defender James Situma has explained how Sofapaka were crowned the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) champions in 2009.
In their debut season, Batoto ba Mungu beat the likes of Gor Mahia, Tusker and AFC Leopards to the title and the current Mathare United player has revealed to Goal how they achieved the rare feat.
“The key reasons why we easily lifted the KPL title in 2009, is because of the inner motivation within the players and the pressure from critics and from opponents that also spurred us to the gong just in our maiden KPL season,” Situma explained to Goal in a candid interview.
