Wambani features as his teammate Katana watches from the bench in Sweden

Kenyan defender Anthony Wambani featured for just over an hour as Vasalund saw off bottom-placed Team Thoren in a Swedish second-tier league match on Thursday as his compatriot and teammate Mohamed Katana watched from the bench.

Wambani was withdrawn after 61 minutes for Ivory Coast's Ibrahim Doumbia with both teams still locked at 0-0.

This was the second time that Katana was appearing on the team sheet this season, but he will have to wait longer to make an appearance on the field after being unused in the last two wins against Haninge and now Team Thoren.

19-year-old Calvin Kabuye scored the all-important goal with 13 minutes left to play in regular time and they went on to hold to that narrow advantage to the end of the match.

Despite collecting maximum points at home Vasalund will probably feel they should have scored more against their opponent on Thursdayconsidering Thoren's position on the log compared to that of Vasalund, as well as the fact that Thoren have conceded the most goals in the league with 27.

However, they will be happy with the win considering they played the larger part of the match with a man less following Orestis Menka's red card towards the dying minutes of the first half.

Vasalund are on a good run and have not lost since doing so in the opening match of the campaign against Umeå FC in April where they lost 4-0, a match that Wambani started from the bench and came on in the second half when they were already trailing.

After nine matches, Vasalund are now within four points of league leaders Sandviken who are on 20 points while Vasalund have 16.
