Okello proud to down Harambee Stars at Kasarani

Kenya Police forward Tito Okello is still over the moon after helping South Sudan edge Harambee Stars in a friendly match on Tuesday at Kasarani Stadium.

Okello struck barely two minutes into the game to hand South Sudan their first ever win over Kenya as well something to smile about given that the youngest African nation had previously suffered a 4-0 defeat in the hands of Mali.

Stars defeat to South Sudan elicited criticism with coach Engin Firat, and his troops being faulted for, letting the thousands who turned up at the facility in order to back the team that had not played at home for close to two years down.

Okello, who joined Police last month says he isn’t sorry despite the fact that his goal was a source of pain for the home fans whom he celebrated right in front of.

“Kenyans have to understand that football is a game of chances and mistakes. I got mine and used it. They should always expect one of the three outcomes in a game of football,” said Okello.
