NSL: Excellent preseason fueling Migori Youth high-flying start, says coach Owano

Migori Youth FC head coach Samuel Owano has linked his side's strong start to the 2025/2026 National Super League (NSL) season to adequate preparation.
‎
Speaking to Citizen Digital, Owano described his team's victories in the first two games against Mwatate United and Talanta as the result of good planning before each encounter.

The team’s focus is now firmly on the third fixture this weekend against Kisumu All Stars, as they aim to maintain their winning streak.
‎
‎"Playing against Kisumu All Stars has never been easy. However, we are determined to collect maximum points when we meet because we have been facing one match at a time this season," Owano said.
‎
‎Migori Youth’s success in those matches has been primarily driven by their prolific striker, Syphas Otieno, who has scored in both games.

Coach Owano praised Otieno for his discipline and outstanding performance on the pitch, expressing confidence that he could finish the season as the league’s top scorer.
‎
‎"Syphas is still a young lady who is growing gradually. He has faced challenges on and off the pitch since he left MOFA.

"To me, he is a good striker, hardworking and clinical, more than some of the forwards I have worked with," Owano added.

Migori Youth began their campaign with a 1-0 victory over Mwatate United, followed by another 1-0 win against Talanta in their second match.
