He missed the one-all draw against Tucson
Kenyan midfielder Tobias Otieno featured full minutes for Tormenta FC on his return as they saw off Forward Madison FC by a solitary goal in a USL League One match on Sunday morning.
The former Gor Mahia midfielder missed the one-all draw with FC Tucson with a knock, but he returned just on time for Tormenta as they chase the automatic playoff spot.
FT: It's another positive result for a South Georgia side that is making a compelling push for the top of the table! ⛈@ForwardMSNFC - 0@Tormenta_FC - 1#MADvTRM | https://t.co/Xmzei5Nh3l pic.twitter.com/8v0BgGkA2V

Joshua Phelps scored the all-important goal three minutes into the second half, and Tormenta held on to the slim advantage to the final whistle to claim maximum points and move to within one point of second-placed Greenville Triumph, who occupy the other automatic playoffs spot.
Forward Madison were dealt a blow at the start of the second half when Abdou Mbacke Thiam was sent off for a second bookable offense, and they had to play the entire second half with a numerical disadvantage.
Tormenta play Richmond Kickers next at their new ground next weekend, then travel to face off with Otieno's former side Union Omaha for the last match of the regular season the weekend after.
