Kamau heaps praise on Masika as Mathare holds Sofapaka at Dandora.

Mathare United midfielder Musa Masika

Mathare United head coach John Kamau has praised the efforts of his attacking midfielder Musa Masika as his second half introduction helped the slum boys salvage a point against youthful Sofapaka in an FKFPL early kickoff staged at Dandora Stadium on Friday.

The former Kenya U-20 who was recently roped from Gor Mahia in the midseason window has been enjoying a good run, proving to be super-sub in the recent games scoring decisive goals that have kept Mathare afloat and his coach believes Masika is proving to be a goal-scoring machine for his side.

Kamau says that Masika is a gifted player whom he has worked with at different stages and what he needs most is adequate playing time to make him a better version.

“I have worked with Musa at the national U-20 team in 2017 and also at Wazito FC, he is a talented boy and he’s proving to be a valuable goal scoring machine for us, I believe with more playing time he will be more lethal and the aspect of him getting more minutes won’t take long”, Kamau said via Azam Sports on a post-match interview.

Masika was thrown into the fray in the 73rd minute and scoring a screamer two minutes later, a goal that made the sides share the spoils in the Friday’s afternoon clash.

Last weekend, the former Gor Mahia and KCB man also staged a Man of the match performance after grabbing a brace in the club’s 2-1 win over Tusker.
