Matano said he was not impressed with how the youngster conducted himself, leading to his dismissal in the second half.

“I was not happy with the manner in which he earned the red card…through violent conduct. I don’t like it when my players get red cards because of such silly actions. It almost cost us especially at a time when we were leading. I didn’t like it and I will deal with him,” the veteran tactician said.

The former national under 20 player was sent for an early shower in the 86th minute after a scuffle with Ebenezer Assifuah.

Ochieng’ was already on a yellow card for a reckless challenge on Patrick Essombe in the first half.

The bankers, however, did just about enough to hold on to their lead to eventually win 2-1, bringing K’Ogalo’s four-match unbeaten streak to an end.
