From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Mathare United count the cost of losing Ian Omondi

51 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Boardroom

Wages eat 377% of everything Mathare United earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad

Douglas Mokaya in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Mathare United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The Mathare United Sentinel

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Robert Mboya decides it from twelve yards

2 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Match

Mathare United through in the cup

A 0‑0 win over Bidco United, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Market

Alex Warai asks to leave Mathare United

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Douglas Mokaya in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Mathare United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Musa Masika runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Mathare United see off Ulinzi Stars

Three points for Mathare United, 1‑0 the final word against Ulinzi Stars in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Elli Asieche

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings

Brian Ndenga shuts the door

Defensive actions: 14, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Alex Warai

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 13 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.
