FKFPL: Bidco United coach downplays importance of striker poached by Gor Mahia
Bidco will not sign a replacement for Chris Ochieng', who joined Gor Mahia after helping the Thika-based outfit to winning the Elite Preseason Cup in August.
“We were more creative in the first half, that is why we played Chris in the number 10 role. We knew that with Musa and Michugu either side of him, the ball would flow very fast and we thank God for the win.”
The result for Bidco now means they have collected nine points and are seven behind league leaders Posta Rangers after six league matches played.
