Muranga Seal held the lead for 3 minutes, which is not long enough to enjoy it. Nairobi United answered before the celebration had properly finished, and the shape of the afternoon changed with it.

The view from the dugout
“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Victor Chemelil to a room that had heard them before.
