“I am happy so far because the scoring touch is coming in well and the best part is that the team is winning. It wouldn’t be good if I am scoring and the team is not doing well. positive contribution is helping the team do well and I am hoping to do more,” he pointed out.
Currently trailing three goals behind the league’s top scorer, Benson Omalla of Gor Mahia, Kapaito remains confident in his ability to close the gap and compete for the coveted Golden Boot award.
