Odera, who joined Wazito in February from APS Bomet asked his players to treat the remaining matches as finals and avoid dropping points especially, when playing in front of home fans.

Wazito made a massive statement of intent in their quest to evade relagation last weekend after flooring four-time Kenyan league champions Ulinzi Stars 1-0 at the Muhoroni grounds.

The scoreline might have been slim but it meant a lot for the Muhoroni based club as it was enough to arrest the nineteen-game winless streak and helped bridge the gap between them and safety as well.

Robert Onyango was the hero of the game as his lone goal netted in the second half, earned Wazito the third win of the season. 

Coach Charles Odera wants his charges to build on the win over the soldiers and garner as many points as possible in the remaining eight rounds in the campaign.

Odera who could not hide his delight after watching his boys humble the former champions said, the win not only injected morale in the team but also, the believe that, beating the drop was possible. 

"The performance the boys put in against Ulinzi last weekend is an indicates that, they want to remain in the top league. If we build on the confidence and morale generated from the game, then we will get out of the red zone," said the former player.

The former Chemelil Sugar tactician said there was no time to celebrate the win over Ulinzi as their focus was fully trained on bagging maximum points in their next match against Sofapaka. 

"There is no time to revisit or celebrate what happened in the past. We have to focus on getting positive results in the matches ahead of us," said the former Kisumu Hotstars coach.
