Muyoti is unhappy with the rate at which his side lost concentration in critical moments of the game.
“I am very happy with the win and the way we took our chances today,“ he said, “However, I believe we can still do better defensively by avoiding giving unnecessary chances away.
“We had to get this win so that we can climb further up the table and leave our rivals down. It is definitely a morale booster for our side moving forward.”
The former Kenyan international, however, has heaped praise on the performances of his young players, such as Rodgers Etemesi, who managed to score a brace on Sunday.

Simba wa Nairobi thump Bullets for sixth win of the season.
“The young players who were struggling to get the goals in the first leg are now managing to get them. Etemesi managed to score a brace and as a coach, it gives me hope for the future considering he came from the lower division.”
The tactician has also added that Simba wa Nairobi have no room to feel sorry for themselves ahead of their remaining fixtures.
“If there is one thing about me, I am not a quitter. Even when my side are losing by four goals, I insist that I have to keep pushing my players forwards until the last minute.
