Tusker’s Kapaito over the moon after ending goal drought

Tusker FC striker Eric Kapaito expressed his delight at breaking his goal drought in the FKF Premier League with a stellar performance last weekend.

Kapaito, who had faced a challenging start to the season, finally found the back of the net, scoring twice in a crucial 3-2 victory over Bidco United in Murang'a.

Kapaito reaction

In a post-match statement, he thanked God for his first goal of the season and his debut goal for the Brewers.

Despite the tough period, Kapaito revealed that he maintained a strong work ethic behind the scenes, always believing that he could overcome the goal drought.

The forward acknowledged the crucial role played by the coach, expressing gratitude for the belief placed in him. Kapaito added that his persistence and hard work had paid off, boosting his morale after the much-needed goals.

"First goal for Tusker and the first for the season, and I thank God. I have been working hard and believing in the team. The coach believed in me, and it has paid off. It's a great thing to score in every game but I had not scored in a while. So, it's a great feeling that boosts morale," Kapaito conveyed in a statement to Tusker FC media.

Kapaito's breakthrough

This breakthrough comes shortly after Kapaito confidently stated that he was undeterred by the goal drought, expressing assurance that he would turn the situation around.

Kapaito's journey to Tusker involved a decision to leave Zanaco and sign a one-year renewable deal with the club after being clubless following his departure from Ethiopian side Arba Minch City.

The striker's exceptional performance with Kariobangi Sharks in the 2020/21 season earned him recognition as the FKF Premier League's Most Valuable Player (MVP) and the Golden Boot award for scoring 24 goals.
