STARS ABROAD: Trio shine in final action ahead of October FIFA break

Harambee Stars goalkeeper Ian Otieno started in goal as his South African club, Richards Bay, thrashed Chippa United 4–1 in a Telkom Knockout match played on Sunday evening.

Otieno, making his fourth appearance of the season, had little to do as he faced three shots on target, saving two and conceding one.

Richards Bay got off to a flying start, taking the lead in the fourth minute through Ntlonelo Bomelo.

Knox Mutizwa doubled the advantage in the seventh minute before Azola Tshobeni pulled one back for Chippa in the 25th minute.

Mutizwa restored Bay’s two-goal cushion in the 37th minute, with Lundi Mahala sealing the victory with a stoppage-time strike.

Richards Bay will return to action after the FIFA international break with a clash against Orbit College FC on Friday, 17 October.
