Mara Sugar interim coach Godfrey Naibei has lauded his sides 'mental strength' in their 2-2 draw against Dimba Patriots over the weekend.
The FKF National Super League leaders fought back twice at the Awendo Green Stadium to salvage a draw to remain top of the log standings.
However, the millers’ boss acknowledges that his team needs to get back to winning ways, even as he hailed their fight-back ability."We had a little bit of concentration lapse within the first twenty minutes and we conceded and tried to comeback.
"The same thing again in the second half, a lapse in concentration and we conceded but the boys showed true mental strength to come back again and I commend them for that but we need to get back to winning ways soon," said Naibei.
The draw allowed Kisumu AllStars to close the gap on the league leaders with a 2-0 win over Coastal side Mombasa Elite at the Moi Stadium in Kisumu, putting them level on 13 points with Mara but behind on goal difference.
In other fixtures, fourth-placed Mathare United continued their brilliant run with a narrow 1-0 victory over Assad to pile pressure on the league leaders, coming one point within reach of the top of the table.
Nairobi United climbed up to seventh on the log standings with a 2-1 win over Mulembe United at the Kasarani Annexe.NSL WEEKEND RESULTS
